Explanation :



Trojan:Win32/Weelsof.C is a trojan that connects to certain servers to download arbitrary files.



Installation

Trojan:Win32/Weelsof.C drops a randomly-named 8-character copy of itself in the %AppData% folder, for example, "cuuqqmoo.exe" or "wlriqzhp.exe".

It also drops a randomly-named 15-character file, for example, "tulpmjllloozzic", "pjqjsyrlgbgksrv". This file is not malicious.

It creates a 24-25 character random mutex, for example, "Global\wjdsnjfqdordprmhwlhmsnckl" or "Global\gmokpkjeobbwaolgbbjzszli", to ensure that only one instance of itself is running at any particular time.

Trojan:Win32/Weelsof.C creates the following registry keys so its copy automatically runs every time Windows starts:

In subkey: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Sets value: <random string>
With data: "%AppData%\<malware file name>.exe"

In subkey: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Sets value: "Shell"
With data: "%AppData%\<malware file name>.exe"
