Payload

Behaviour	Description
WormAutorun	A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Trojan's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Process activity

The Trojan creates the following process(es):

%original file name%.exe:1652

The Trojan injects its code into the following process(es):

vbc.exe:1336
%original file name%.exe:956
Explorer.EXE:1572

Mutexes

The following mutexes were created/opened:No objects were found.

File activity

The process vbc.exe:1336 makes changes in the file system.

The Trojan creates and/or writes to the following file(s):

%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\WDefender (33 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\Novo.exe (1809 bytes)

The process %original file name%.exe:1652 makes changes in the file system.

The Trojan creates and/or writes to the following file(s):

%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\vbc.exe (7547 bytes)

Registry activity

The process vbc.exe:1336 makes changes in the system registry.

The Trojan creates and/or sets the following values in system registry:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG]
"Seed" = "83 BF A9 E4 8A ED 2F 4D 52 3C E8 65 7F A6 42 DE"

[HKCU\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\INSTALL\DATE]
"T6T8P5BVBF" = "September 21, 2016"

[HKCU\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\SrvID\ID]
"T6T8P5BVBF" = "Setembro"

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{4C0C6EE0-EECD-EBCD-4CDE-5A5F9A1F945D}]
"StubPath" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{4C0C6EE0-EECD-EBCD-4CDE-5A5F9A1F945D}]
"StubPath" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\Run]
"WDefender" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"

To automatically run itself each time Windows is booted, the Trojan adds the following link to its file to the system registry autorun key:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WDefender" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WDefender" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"

The process %original file name%.exe:1652 makes changes in the system registry.

The Trojan creates and/or sets the following values in system registry:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG]
"Seed" = "6D 97 B1 14 44 4A 85 17 41 F5 1D 5C 55 C6 F3 09"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"AppData" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data"
"Cache" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

Rootkit activity

No anomalies have been detected.

Propagation

A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Trojan's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Removals

Remove it with Ad-Aware

Click (here) to download and install Ad-Aware Free Antivirus.
Update the definition files.
Run a full scan of your computer.

Manual removal*

Terminate malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):
%original file name%.exe:1652
Delete the original Trojan file.
Delete or disinfect the following files created/modified by the Trojan:
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\WDefender (33 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\Novo.exe (1809 bytes)
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\vbc.exe (7547 bytes)
Delete the following value(s) in the autorun key (How to Work with System Registry):
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WDefender" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WDefender" = "C:\DOCUME~1\"%CurrentUserName%"\LOCALS~1\Temp\Novo.exe"
Find and delete all copies of the worm's file together with "autorun.inf" scripts on removable drives.
Reboot the computer.

*Manual removal may cause unexpected system behaviour and should be performed at your own risk.
