Installation

This Trojan drops the following copies of itself into the affected system:

  • %Program Files%\Common Files\redltecm\ieoifz.pif

(Note: %Program Files% is the default Program Files folder, usually C:\Program Files in Windows 2000, Server 2003, and XP (32-bit), Vista (32-bit), and 7 (32-bit), or C:\Program Files (x86) in Windows XP (64-bit), Vista (64-bit), and 7 (64-bit).)

It creates the following folders:

  • %Program Files%\Common Files\redltecm
  • %Program Files%\Common Files\sfbsbvx
  • %Program Files%\Common Files\PushWare

(Note: %Program Files% is the default Program Files folder, usually C:\Program Files in Windows 2000, Server 2003, and XP (32-bit), Vista (32-bit), and 7 (32-bit), or C:\Program Files (x86) in Windows XP (64-bit), Vista (64-bit), and 7 (64-bit).)

Autostart Technique

This Trojan adds the following registry entries to enable its automatic execution at every system startup:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
safe360 = "%Program Files%\Common Files\sfbsbvx\coiome.exe"

It registers itself as a BHO to ensure its automatic execution every time Internet Explorer is used by adding the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Browser Helper Objects\{11F09AFE-75AD-4E52-AB43-E09E9351CE17}

Other System Modifications

This Trojan deletes the following files:

  • %Program Files%\Common Files\sfbsbvx\coiome.exe
