More Information

Troj/Ksera-A is a backdoor Trojan that pretends to be a key generator called KS and displays an screen to this effect. When the "Generate Serial" button is clicked, Troj/Ksera-A drops a file to C:\Windows\Drivers.bat that is detected as Troj/Shutdown-F, and displays a fake error message with the title "KeyGen" and the message "Error Reading 0x5650x6".
