More Information

Troj/Zlob-GO is a downloader Trojan for the Windows platform.

Troj/Zlob-GO disquises itself as "eMedia Codec 4.0 Setup" and displays a license agreement. A folder may be created called <Program Files>\eMedia Code, containing the clean file uninst.exe, which will remove the folder but not the Trojan.

When installed Troj/Zlob-GO drops and runs the following files:

<System>\dfrgsrv.exe
<System>\<random>.tmp

Both files are also detected as Troj/Zlob-GO. The file <random>.tmp is injected into the process winlogon.exe.

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

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer\run
wininet.dll
dfrgsrv.exe

Registry entries are created under:

HKCR\EMediaCodec.Chl\CLSID\
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\eMedia Codec\
