VirusMalware_fam.A
Analysis
- This is a generic detection for files that appear to resemble a trojan. Files identified should be sent to Fortinet for research and analysis.
- The detection is based on features or characteristics of the file such as its encryption algorithm, restrictions on file size, section sizes and so on.
- Some common examples of the behavior of these files are:
- Create autostart registry entries
- Download a component of itself and execute it
- Install a bot component to enable remote access of the infected host
- Connect to a remote site
- May have the ability to update itself or its download components
- Exploit a known Windows vulnerability to spread itself
