More Information

Troj/Small-BA is a proxy Trojan for the Windows platform. Troj/Small-BA allows a malicious user to route information through an infected computer.

When executed the Trojan copies itself to the Windows system folder as WinDriv32.exe and then runs the copy which attempts to report the infection to a webpage.

In order to run automatically when Windows starts up Troj/Small-BA creates the following registry entries:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
WinDriv32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinDriv32.exe

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
WinDriv32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\WinDriv32.exe.
