Analysis
When executed, this program displays an installer-like interface. However, instead of installing the software whose name is shown during the installation, it downloads an unwanted executable and installs it as a web browser toolbar add-on without notifying the user.
Recommended Action
FortiGate Systems
- Check the main screen using the web interface for your FortiGate unit to ensure that the latest AV/NIDS database has been downloaded and installed on your system - if required, enable the "Allow Push Update" option.
FortiClient Systems
- Quarantine/delete files that are detected and replace infected files with clean backup copies.
