More Information

Troj/DSS-A is a Trojan which drops the file INDEX.HTM into the Windows Temp folder. The Trojan then opens this file in a hidden browser window. INDEX.HTM contains an HTML script which attempts to connect to a web site about twenty minutes after opening.

The web site contains an advertisement for a web site with pornographic content and may attempt to drop a dialler program onto the user's computer.

The behaviour of Troj/DSS-A may be altered dynamically by changing the contents of the web page to which it connects.

The Trojan file is likely to arrive in an email as an attachment called OPENME.EXE.
