More Information
Troj/Torpig-J is a Trojan for the Windows platform.
When Troj/Torpig-J is installed the following files are created:
<Common Files>\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.dll (detected as Troj/Torpig-J)
<Common Files>\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe (detected as Troj/Torpig-J)
<Common Files>\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00002.dll (detected as Troj/Torpig-J)
<Common Files>\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\tmp.tmp (This file is harmless and may be safely deleted)
The following registry entry is created to run ibm00001.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Shell
<path to ibm00001.exe>
The following registry entry is changed to run ibm00001.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell
explorer.exe "<path to ibm00001.exe>"
(the default value for this registry entry is "Explorer.exe" which causes the Microsoft file <Windows folder>\Explorer.exe to be run on startup).
An entry may be added to the file SYSTEM.INI in the "boot" section with a key name of "shell" to attempt to run ibm00001.exe on startup.
Troj/Torpig-J attempts to steal passwords, as well as logging keypresses and open window titles to text files and periodically sends the collected information to a remote user via HTTP.
Troj/Torpig-J automatically closes security warning messages displayed by common anti-virus and security related applications
