More Information
W32/LegMir-BM is a keyboard-logging virus for the Windows platform.
In order to run automatically at startup the virus copies itself to <Windows>\YZH.exe and creates the following registry entries:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
YZH
<Windows>\YZH.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
YZH
<Windows>\YZH.exe
W32/LegMir-BM monitors all keypresses for potential passwords and periodically
emails its findings to a preconfigured email address.
