• Hacktool.Spammer(Symantec)

Characteristics

McAfee® Avert® Labs recognizes that this program may have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized administrator has knowingly installed this application. If you agreed to a license agreement for this, or another bundled application, you may have legal obligations with regard to removing this software, or using the host application without this software. Please contact the software vendor for further information.

See http://vil.nai.com/vil/DATReadme.asp for a list of Program detections added to the DATs.

See http://vil.nai.com/vil/pups/configuration.htm for information about how to enable, disable, and exclude detection of legitimately installed programs.

Detection was added to cover for a potentially unwanted spam mailer program originally called "bbvorwgry.exe" (filesize 152.576 bytes).  

Upon running, it runs silently, no gui messageboxes appear on the screen.

It copies itself to the %system32 directory and removes itself from the original file location where it was run from.

It copies itself with a different name, but byte-identical content to for example:

• c:\WINNT\system32\vychypyij.exe  (filesize 152.576 bytes decimal)

To launch itself automatically at system start it creates a registry key under:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "vychypyij"
  with  Data: C:\WINNT\System32\vychypyij.exe

It might also add:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\eatq9w38y6evs "ImagePath"
  with Data: C:\WINNT\System32\vychypyij.exe /service

The potentially unwanted program might be used to send spam mails around.
