More Information

Troj/Lineage-DY is a password stealing Trojan for the Windows platform.

When first run Troj/Lineage-DY copies itself to <System>\Kerne1211.exe and
creates the following files:

\%CurrentFolder%\gg.bat
<System>\RegistryInfo.dll
<System>\microsoftie1211.dll

gg.dat is a harmless file. RegistryInfo.dll and microsoftie1211.dll are
detected as Troj/Lineage-DY.

The following registry entry is created to run Kerne1211.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
load
<System>\Kerne1211.exe

The file RegistryInfo.dll is registered as a COM object and ShellExecute hook,
creating registry entries under:
