This Trojan downloads other files via the Internet without the knowledge or consent of the user.
The Trojan itself is a Windows PE EXE file, 2896 bytes in size, packed using FSG. The unpacked file is approximately 20KB in size.
When launched, if the file %System%\maxd64.exe is present on the victim machine, the Trojan will launch it for execution. If this file is not present, the Trojan will download a program from http://85.255.***.162/gdn***433.exe and save it to %Temp%\maxdd.game. The Trojan then copies the program to %System%\maxd64.exe and launches it for execution.
