More Information
Troj/PWSLmir-G is a password stealing Trojan which emails the stolen information to a remote email address.
When run, the Trojan copies itself to the Windows system folder, creates a helper component dll of the same name (also in the Windows system folder) and creates the following registry entry so as to auto-start on user logon or computer reboot:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Expatch
%SYSTEM%\<sample name>
Troj/PWSLmir-G may delete files with the ITM extension.
