Action

Please follow the instructions for removing Trojans.

Change any passwords that may have become compromised and delete the dropped file sysini.ini.

Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entry. The removal of this entry is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.

At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.

Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.

Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Online Service

and remove any reference to any file you deleted.

Close the registry editor.

More Information

Troj/Tofger-L is a keylogging Trojan.

In order to run automatically when Windows starts up Troj/Tofger-L copies itself to the file SURTE.EXE in the Windows folder and adds the following registry entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Online Service

The Trojan also drops a utility library file MSTO32.DLL (detected as Troj/Tofger-C) and creates the text file SYSINI.INI in the Windows folder.

When Troj/Tofger-L detects an active internet connection it captures keystrokes typed into Internet Explorer and sends the information to a remote internet address.
