VirTool:Win32/VBInject.gen!ER is a generic detection for malicious files that are obfuscated using particular techniques to protect them from detection or analysis. A malicious file is generally encrypted/and or compressed and stored inside another program, which decodes the malicious file and loads it. The malicious program may be injected into a clean process or loaded in a new process of its own. Unlike a €œdropper€, the malicious executable is never written to disk as a separate file. Malicious programs detected as VirTool:Win32/VBInject.gen!ER can have virtually any purpose, as this technique is utilized by many different malware families in the wild in order to protect them from detection or analysis.
