More Information
Troj/Zlob-KV is a downloader and browser-hijacking Trojan for the Windows platform.
When first run, Troj/Zlob-KV copies itself to the following location :
<System>\regperf.exe
Troj/Zlob-KV also creates the following file :
<System>\l<random>.tmp
where <random> is a randomly chosen number. This file is also detected as Troj/Zlob-KV.
The following registry entry is created to run regperf.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer\run
wininet.dll
regperf.exe
Troj/Zlob-KV will inject code into the winlogon.exe process and can thus remain resident and execute its malicious functionality under this guise.
Troj/Zlob-KV may attempt to download and execute code from a remote website, and may also attempt to modify Internet Explorer settings such as the browser homepage by modifying the following registry value :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
