Troj/Fgbot-A

Please follow the instructions for removing Trojans.

Troj/Fgbot-A is a Trojan for the Windows platform.

When first run Troj/Fgbot-A copies itself to <System>\fgsrv.exe or <System>\fgsrv2.exe and creates some of the following files:

<System>\dofcfg.dll
<System>\fgsrv.dll
<System>\fgsrv2.dll
<System>\phffg.dll
<System>\ulffg.dll
<System>\flffg.dll
<System>\upfg.exe
<System>\rufg.exe

The file dofcfg.dll is a data file containing an encrypted version of the Trojan and is not executable. fgsrv.dll and fgsrv2.dll are also detected as Troj/Fgbot-A and will drop the main file again if deleted. phffg.dll is detected as Troj/RKFg-A and may be used to provide stealthing.

The following registry entry is created to run code exported by the Trojan library on startup:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad
fgsrv
<random clsid>

The file fgsrv.dll is registered as a COM object, creating registry entries under:

HKCR\CLSID\<random clsid>

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
