Characteristics

Detection was added to cover protection against a malicious 32 bit downloader trojan originally called "html32.exe" , having a filesize of 32.768 bytes.  The file is written with MSVB6 and is not internally compressed with a packer.

Upon running, it displays a small messagebox titled "Your e-mail:Confirmed!" and content "Thank You!"

The Downloader has in between silently copied itself to the %windows% directory and made a registry entry to launch itself automatically upon system startup, for example on a Win2000 system:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Windows HTML"
    with Data: C:\WINNT\html32.exe (filesize 32.768 bytes)

It tries to access a specified website to download further files from:

It also makes a log entry on:

The exact webaddresses are modified on purpose here with # markings.

It uses the port 1917.

Symptoms
