Characteristics
Upon execution Bredolab attempts to inject into svchost.exe processes and deletes the parent file. The Trojan then connects to the following domains davxxbrxdov.ru, hulxerxpedxxo.com, hoxtvexxss.ru, wapxxdoit.ru to download malwares such as Anti-spyware, Password stealers etc and executes it. The malware that is downloaded and related files may vary from one variant to another. Following are the possible locations and files created:
%System%\sdra64.exe
%System%\_scui.cpl
%System%\braviax.exe
%System%\wisdstr.exe
%System%\dllcache\figaro.sys
c:\Program Files\PC_Antispyware2010\AVEngn.dll

* Network activities
Method of Infection
Trojans are not viruses, and as such do not contain any method to replicate by themselves. However they may be downloaded by other viruses and/or Trojans to be installed on the user's system. Alternatively they may be installed by visiting a malicious web page (either by clicking on a link, or by the website hosting a scripted exploit which installs the malwares).Removal
AVERT recommends to always use latest DATs and engine. This threat will be cleaned if you have this combination.

All Information
Overview -
This is a trojan detection. Unlike viruses, trojans do not self-replicate. They are spread manually, often under the premise that they are beneficial or wanted. The most common installation methods involve system or security exploitation, and unsuspecting users manually executing unknown programs. Distribution channels include email, malicious or hacked web pages, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), peer-to-peer networks, etc.
