More Information
Troj/Iyus-N is a downloader Trojan.
Troj/Iyus-N attempts to disable anti-virus and other security software and hide warning messages from the user. Troj/Iyus-N is a downloader Trojan.
Troj/Iyus-N may arrive as a CAB archive containing two files, setting.inf (detected as Troj/Iyus-G) and install.exe.
