More Information

Troj/Hasik-A is a Trojan for the Windows platform.

When first run Troj/Hasik-A copies itself to:

\Jangan dibuka\jangandiklik.exe
<Program Files>\Yahoo!\Messenger\ypager.exe
<Windows>\Installer\smss.exe
<Windows>\inf\lsass.exe
<System>\capslock.exe
<System>\numlock.exe
<System>\scrolllock.exe

and creates the following files:

\apel.txt
<Windows>\Registration\(02D4B3F1-FD88-11D1-960D-00805FC79235).(B992B056-85FB-4C1B-810B-E2BE4A206A6F).crmlog
<Windows>\apel.htm
<System>\Logfiles\w3svc1\ex061015.log

The following registry entries are created to run capslock.exe, numlock.exe and apel.txt on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
RPCall_REPCLIENT
<System>\numlock.exe /register

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

C:\apel.txt /register

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
SRVState_REPCLIENT
<System>\capslock.exe /register

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
load
<System>\numlock.exe

The following registry entries are changed to run Troj/Hasik-A on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell
explorer.exe <Windows>\Installer\smss.exe

(the default value for this registry entry is "Explorer.exe" which causes the Microsoft file <Windows>\Explorer.exe to be run on startup).

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
System
<System>\capslock.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Userinit
<System>\userinit.exe,<System>\scrolllock.exe,

(the default value for this registry entry is "<Windows>\System32\userinit.exe,").

The following lines are added to the [windows] section of Win.ini to run jangandiklik.exe on startup:

run = C:\Jangan dibuka\jangandiklik.exe
load = C:\Jangan dibuka\jangandiklik.exe

Troj/Hasik-A changes settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer, including the Start Page and Search Page, by modifying values under:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Search Page
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
