It also usually installs a new folder in the Start Menu with two shortcuts, for example:
  • %startmenu%\Programs\qksee\uninstall.lnk
  • %startmenu%\Programs\qksee\qksee.lnk


Launching the "qksee" shortcut will show the QKSee interface:

This trojan also installs one of its files as a service to launch each time Windows starts.

QKSee example:

Service Name: qkseeService
Display Name: qkseeService
Description: qkseeService
Image Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\qksee\qkseeSvc.exe
Startup type: Automatic

WinZipper example:

Service Name: winzipersvc
Display Name: WinZiper service
Description: WinZipper service
Image Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZipper\winzipersvc.exe
Startup type: Automatic

Payload

Modifies registry entries

The "WinZipper" variant of this trojan makes the following registry entry changes silently, without your consent, to associate itself with several archive file extensions, such as .zip and .rar. For example:

In subkey: HKCR\.zip
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "WinZippers.zip"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.zip
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "WinZip"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.zip\DefaultIcon
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZipper\winziper.exe"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.zip\shell\open\command
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: ""C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZipper\winziper.exe" "o" "%1"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.zip\shellex\DropHandler
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "{DC638EEA-2BA2-4459-9C46-85A2F0BE6040}"

In subkey: HKCR\.rar
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "WinZippers.rar"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.rar
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "WinZip"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.rar\DefaultIcon
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZipper\winziper.exe,0"

In subkey: HKCR\WinZippers.rar\shell\open\command
Sets value: "(Default)"
With data: ""C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZipper\winziper.exe" "o" "%1""

Opening one of the above archive files launches the WinZipper interface:



Downloads and executes additional malware

The service that this trojan installs connects to a remote server to periodically check for instructions using HTTP requests. It can instruct it to silently download and run additional files. We have seen Xadupi's service download the following malware:
  • BrowserModifier:Win32/Sasquor
  • BrowserModifier:Win32/SupTab
  • Trojan:Win32/Ghokswa
  • Trojan:Win32/Sussab
  • Trojan:Win32/Chuckenit.A
