Technical Details

This Trojan installs other malicious programs to the victim machine. It is a Windows PE EXE file. It is 17213 bytes in size. It is packed using FSG. The unpacked file is approximately 103KB in size. It is written in C++.


Payload

When launching, the Trojan extracts two files from its body and saves them as follows:

%System%\kempersoi32.dll

This file is 30000 bytes in size.

%System%\performent003.dll

This file is 35000 bytes in size. It will be detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Druser.g.

The Trojan then registers the following file in the system: "%System%\performent003.dll".

The Trojan also drops a batch file to its working directory and launches it. It then ceases running. This file will delete the original Trojan file and its body.


Removal instructions

If your computer does not have an up-to-date antivirus, or does not have an antivirus solution at all, follow the instructions below to delete the malicious program:

  1. Revert the registration of "%System%\performent003.dll" by running the following command:
    Regsvr32.exe /u performent003.dll
  2. Delete the following files:
    %System%\kempersoi32.dll
    %System%\performent003.dll
  3. Update your antivirus databases and perform a full scan of the computer (download a trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus).

Trojan-Dropper

Trojan-Dropper programs are designed to secretly install malicious programs built into their code to victim computers.

This type of malicious program usually save a range of files to the victim’s drive (usually to the Windows directory, the Windows system directory, temporary directory etc.), and launches them without any notification (or with fake notification of an archive error, an outdated operating system version, etc.).

Such programs are used by hackers to:

  • secretly install Trojan programs and/or viruses
  • protect known malicious programs from being detected by antivirus solutions; not all antivirus programs are capable of scanning all the components inside this type of Trojans.
