TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:

The virus arrives as an executable in a zip file of an e-mail attachment
The zip file is cca 17 kb, and inside is an executable of cca 35 kb.

Consists of 5 components, mainly trojans, downloaders and droppers.

winshost.exe (~35 kb) - dropper 1
wiwshost.exe (~8 kb) - trojan/downloader 1
osa6.gif (~2 kb) - downloader 2
firewall_anti.exe (~95 kb) - dropper 2
firewall_anti.exe.dll (~70 kb) - trojan


Basicly, when run, the virus dropper creates and executes the trojan, which is injected
into explorer. Next, attempts to download and execute a file from a series of remote servers,
disables several services and applications related to security. Creates/overwrites the hosts
file with a default one. Starts the newly downloaded file, which will also download another
file, that is a dropper which creates/executes a trojan blocking av sites.

Note: since some of the virus components are independent, they may be updated and their
actions and sizes may vary slightly.


Once run, the virus (the dropper) does the following:

1. Creates the aforementioned keys and files mentioned in Symptoms.

2. Injects wiwshost.exe in explorer (which is the first dowloader)


Once wiwshost.exe (the trojan/downloader) is run, it does the folowing:

1. Deletes the following registry keys/entries:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"Symantec NetDriver Monitor"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"ccApp"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"NAV CfgWiz"

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"APVXDWIN"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"KAV50"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"avg7_cc"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"avg7_emc"
