Malware Behavior and Technical Description

This Trojan is a Windows PE EXE file. It is 25,372 bytes in size. It is packed using Petite. The unpacked file is approximately 44KB in size.

Installation

When launched, the Trojan copies its executable file to the Windows system directory:

%System%\wovexec.exe

In order to ensure that the Trojan is launched automatically when the system is rebooted, the Trojan adds a link to its executable file in the system registry:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
@ = "%System%\wovexec.exe"
Payload

The Trojan constantly searches for windows where the title contains the following strings:

Disk 3,5 (A:)
Properties: Disk 3,5 (A:)

If such a window is found, the Trojan will search for files on A:\ with a .doc extension. If such files are found, the Trojan will replace the contents with its body, while retaining the original file name, and adding the following extension: ".exe"
