Once launched, the Trojan saves its configuration to the following file which it creates in the Windows sytem directory:
%System%\Setup.dfg
The Trojan then downloads a file from the following URL:
http://66.98.***.45/mega/upx.php***
(At the moment of writing, this link was not working.)
The file will then be saved to the Windows system directory:
%System%\tempload.exe
If this file is downloaded successfully, and is an application, then the Trojan will launch it for execution. Otherwise, the Trojan will repeat the attempt to download the file every ten seconds.
The Trojan also opens UDP port 12021 to incoming connections.
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:
%System%\Setup.dfg %System%\tempload.exe
