Quickspace.A accesses several websites to download files, which it then runs. These can be any type of file, although they are normally malware.

- Via Internet, exploiting remote vulnerabilities: attacking random IP addresses, in which it tries to insert a copy of itself by exploiting one or more vulnerabilities.
