Malware Behavior and Technical Description
this text was written by Alexey Podrezov, Data Fellows Ltd
This Trojan does not destroy anything, but is very annoying. It copies its link to a start-up folder to be run during Windows bootup, does not allow it to "kill" its task, and makes itself known every time. It is pretty hard to remove, because it blocks its application and VB DLL, re-creates its link in the start-up directory or even the whole directory if deleted. Upon attempting to kill its task, the Trojan opens several more essences of itself as 'punishment'. To remove this Trojan, you need to put the following command in the beginning of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in root C:\ folder:
DEL C:\WINDOWS\STARTM~1\PROGRAMS\STARTUP\HECKLER.LNK
