More Information
Troj/LdPinch-U is a password stealing Trojan for the Windows platform.
When the installer component of the Trojan is executed, it creates and runs an executable called pinch.exe in the Windows folder that collects the available passwords and other user and computer data to the out.bin file in the root folder.
Troj/LdPinch-U attempts to upload it to a web address or send it by email to a predetermined email address.
The data sent out contains encoded data that may be used by the remote atacker to gain control over the infected computer and over some other resources used by the user.
