More Information
Troj/Riler-W is a backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
Troj/Riler-W runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels.
When first run Troj/Riler-W copies itself to <System>\xwinupdaterarx.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run xwinupdaterarx.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
xDRam rar procx
xwinupdaterarx.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
xDRam rar procx
xwinupdaterarx.exe
Troj/Riler-W sets the following registry entries, disabling the automatic startup of other software:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
Start
4
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess
Start
4
Note: disabling autostart for the SharedAccess service deactivates the Microsoft Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
Registry entries are set as follows:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OLE
xDRam rar procx
xwinupdaterarx.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
