More Information

Troj/Qukart-W is a password stealing Trojan for the Windows platform.

When first run Troj/Qukart-W copies itself to the Windows System folder with the name Odkiiljk.exe.

The Trojan drops two clean files named !apihook.txt and !apihook.bin to the root of the C: drive, a text file named xmzf2c.dll to the System folder; and a DLL with a random filename also to the System folder.

The following registry entry is created to run code exported by the dropped Trojan DLL on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad
Web Event Logger
(7CFBACFF-EE01-1231-ABDD-416592E5D639)

The dropped DLL is registered as a COM object, creating registry entries under:
