Aliases :

There are no other names known for Exploit.ADODB.Stream.Gen.

Explanation :

Variants of this trojan are written in VBscript or Javascript. It attempts to download from internet an executable, save it locally to hardisk (usually replacing a valid executable) and execute it.
It does this by exploiting a vulnerability in Internet Explorer (the ADODB.Stream object)

This detection is now obsolete, please reffer to Generic.XPL.Adodb in the Virus Encyclopedia
