Payload

Downloads other malware

This threat contacts three hardcoded servers to determine which one is online. It waits for a "server_ok" reply from the active server.

It checks which version of the Chrome web browser is installed on your PC. If you have a version other than 30.0.1573.2 the malware will download this version from its server. It then stops the chrome.exe process and replaces this file with the version of Chrome that the malware downloaded.

It then downloads and installs a Chrome ​plug-in that uses one of the following names:

AdBlock Pro Raw manager Rawded Pro

We have seen the malware contact the following servers to downloading malware or malware updates:

alsancakgaming.com facebookcheaplikes.net filmver.com filmverme.com joojlee.com likedealers.com pagesphp.net schedulesapps.com sosyaljs.com sosyaljss.com sosyalpatron.com tmobilevideo.mobi togd.org videotroppy.info voltaj.org windowsjava.com www.5lf.net www.filmver.com www.helpcdn.com www.jscmd.net www.kaplanphp.com www.kasarporno.com www.kingcdn.net www.kplncodes.info www.neran.net www.pagesphp.net www.pornokan.com www.rapfoto.com www.sosyaljs.com www.sosyaljss.com www.sosyaljssss.com www.sshup.com www.wjetphp.com www.yorcdn.com xmobilevideo.mobi yorcdn.com

The ​plug-in is installed as public.js and is detected as Trojan:JS/Kilim.AA. The plugin ID will be randomly generated.

The malware modifies the preferences of the downloaded plug-in to grant the following permissions:

clipboardRead clipboardWrite contentSettings cookies history idle management notifications notifications storage tabs unlimitedStorage webNavigation webRequest webRequestBlocking webRequestInternal

Stops update services

This threat can stop Google update services from running on your PC. It does this by deleting the following file:

%ProgramFiles% GoogleUpdateGoogleUpdate.exe

It also deletes the following scheduled tasks:

GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore GoogleUpdateTaskMachineUA

Redirects your web browser

The malware can redirect your web browser from www.google.com to localhost by modifying the hosts file for any of the following update URLs:

clientsX.google.com dl.google.com tools.google.com

It can also block access to security related websites, and stop Windows and browser updates by redirecting traffic to localhost. We have seen it redirect traffic from the following websites:
