| Attack | Details: This Trojan is created in Borland Delphi and is UPX compressed. Upon execution, it creates a copy of itself as EXPLORER.EXE in the root directory of an infected system. It creates 15 other copies in random file names in the Windows System Directory and one of the copies is in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\gexp subdirectory that this virus creates. It then adds the following registry entries so that it executes upon Windows start up: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run\RUNDLL32 = "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\[Filename]" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\RunServices\RUNDLL32 = "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\[Filename]" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\ Installed Components\[Filename]\StubPath = "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\[Filename]" The Trojan adds the following entry in the WIN.INI file: run=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\[Filename] In the SYSTEM.INI file it adds the following entry: shell=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\[Filename] [Filename] is one of the files that this Trojan dropped in the Windows System directory of the infected drive C:\.
