More Information
Troj/Jupdrop-A is a dropper Trojan for the Windows platform.
Troj/Jupdrop-A may drop the empty file file werdsf to the Windows system folder.
Troj/Jupdrop-A may drop the files mspostsp.exe and msupdate32.dll to the Windows system or local application data folder. The file mspostsp.exe is detected as Troj/Jupdrop-A and the file msupdate32.dll is usually detected as a member of the Troj/Jupdow family.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\msupdate
DllName
msupdate32.dll
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\msupdate
Startup
WinlogonStartupEvent
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\msupdate

If the files are dropped to the local application data folder, the following registry entry is created to run mspostsp.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell
Explorer.exe "<local application data>\mspostsp.exe"
Troj/Jupdrop-A then runs mspostsp.exe, which injects msupdate32.dll into the process explorer.exe.
