Note: %System% is a variable that refers to the System folder. By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\Winnt\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).

Notes
</h4>
  • Upon excution 216-1.exe requires Internet access.

  • Copies itself to the %System% folder under as 4Ff8IMPB.exe and is started by 216-1.exe.

  • Starts an Internet Explorer instance and injects itself into the address space of iexplore.exe.

  • Creates different mutexes to mark its presence on the system. One of them, k0Vs8251CM is very similar to a mutex created by jfifoj.exe and it's thus safe to presume that we are in presence of an updated version. We also notice several hidden iexplore.exe instances running under 4Ff8IMPB.exe

    IPB Image

  • Creates & destroys a hidden instance of iexplore.exe under svchost.exe every few seconds.

  • Connects to internet in order to retrieve a list of ad-servers.

    IPB Image

  • Pops advertising and promotional offers on the infected system. Seeing the huge list of URL's visited in a very short amount of time (below is only a snipit) the chance is very high to fall on a dodgy advertisement that will "cause trouble" on our PC.

    [attachmentid=842]

  • Since 24 scheduled tasks are created, the program gets loaded every hour and every day (even after a reboot or shutdown). The tasks have been created under the SYSTEM account.
