More Information

Troj/Padodor-T is a backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform that also may function as a proxy.

When executed Troj/Padodor-T moves itself to the Windows system folder with a random filename and drops a dll component to the Windows system folder, also randomly named, which is similar to the following examples:

Mhflcm32
Ihpkfpih

Troj/Padodor-T installs a DLL as an Internet Explorer plugin.

Troj/Padodor-T also creates a keng32mk.dll text file and a randomly named batch file that deletes the runnig executable and itself after the Trojan copy is created.
