Removal

Technical Details

This backdoor program may arrive as an executable file via direct download from the Internet, or as part of a trojan-downloader or trojan-dropper payload. This malware is compressed with BeRoEXEPacker v1.00.Upon installation, the malware will create a setuplog.DLL file to contain the main malware files. It will also create a copy of itself in the setuplog.bat file, in an attempt to protect the main malware file from detection and destruction by antivirus programs.

After execution, an additional created uninstal.bat file will remove the original malware files, leaving only the setuplog.dll and setuplog.bat files.Once installed, the backdoor program first attempts to connect to a remote server, to notify the malware author that an infection has taken place.

If successfully connected, it then incrementally scans one port after another on the host machine to find an open one that would allow a remote user to connect to the infected system.

Once a remote user has gained access, any of the following actions can be performed on the infected system:

  • Retrieve system information (Registeredorganization, RegisteredOwner, productID, productkey,ProductName, Date and Time)
  • Retrieve registry information
  • Download files
  • Log keystrokes
  • Communicate via telnet
  • Capture screen into picture file (BMP)
  • Capture screen into video (AVI)
