Technical Details

This Trojan is a Windows PE EXE file, written in Assembler. The infected file is 3584 bytes in size.


Payload

When launched, the program gets a list of processes launched on the system, and attempts to terminate processes with the names listed below:

APVDWIN.exe
Avp32.exe
avpcc.exe
NOD32KUI.exe
outpost.exe

Every second, it attempts to connect to core.***che-evolution.com. If a connection is established, the Trojan will send the following request to the server:

GET /load.cgi HTTP/1.1'

In response, the server will send an encrypted list of links to files on the Internet. The Trojan downloads these files, saves them to %WinDir% and then launches them for execution.


Removal instructions

  1. Use Task Manager to terminate the Trojan process.
  2. Delete the original Trojan file (the location will depend on how it penetrated the victim machine).
  3. Update your antivirus databases and perform a full scan of the computer (download a trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus).
