More Information
Troj/Cosiam-H is a proxy server Trojan.
The proxy server runs continuously in the background listening on port 23358 and allows data to be routed through the computer. The proxy server may be used to forward spam.
Troj/Cosiam-H includes functionality to silently download, install and run new software, including updates of its software.
When first run Troj/Cosiam-H copies itself to <System>\0mcamcap.exe and creates the files:
<System>\TheMatrixHasYou.exe
<System>\ImaS3r
TheMatrixHasYou.exe is a simple (clean) utility program which Troj/Cosiam-H uses to delete the original copy of itself.
The following registry entries are created to run 0mcamcap.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
0mcamcap
<System>\0mcamcap.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
0mcamcap
<System>\0mcamcap.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
