The trojan replaces file(s) referenced by the following Registry entries with its own copy or with another malware file:

  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\­SOFTWARE\­Microsoft\­Windows NT\­CurrentVersion\­Svchost\­netsvcs]

It avoids processes which contain any of the following strings in their path:

  • 6to4

    • "ServiceDll" = "%systemdrive%\­Documents and Settings\­Local User\­pcguard.dll"
