More Information

Troj/Theef-B is a keylogging Trojan for the Windows platform.

When first run Troj/Theef-B copies itself to <System>\capture.exe and creates
the file <System>\Gsetup.ini.

Troj/Theef-B monitors active windows and records all key strokes typed by the
user, along with the time and date. Troj/Theef-B then periodically emails the
recorded keystrokes to a specific email account on the internet using an
internal SMTP engine.

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

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
capture
<System>\capture.exe
