More Information
Troj/Ranck-EL is a proxy Trojan for the Windows platform.
When run Troj/Ranck-EL copies itself to <System>\win32bootcfg.exe and sets the following registry entry to run itself on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Windows Core Kernel Update
<System>\win32bootcfg.exe
Troj/Ranck-EL chooses a random port in the range 10000 to 39999 to listen for incoming http requests. The Trojan then attempts to contact several remote sites to register itself with a remote user.
