When first run Troj/Gampass-E copies itself to <Temp>\mhs2.exe and creates the file <Temp>\mhs2.dll, which is also detected as Troj/Gampass-E.
In order to run automatically when Windows starts up Troj/Gampass-E creates the following registry entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
