The malware can be described as a debugger that is injected into the execution sequence of a target application. This ‘debugger’ can then be run everytime an application is started on an infected computer

the file %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Common\wuauclt.exe is created, Windows registry will be modified and connection can be made by the virus to servers on the internet http://*****.ru/ld.php?v=1&rs=13441600&n=1&uid=1.

MX Lab has intercepted a few samples of this virus but there’s no outbreak – at least on our systems and at this time of writing – but only 9 of the 36 anti virus engines do detect the virus so it’s important not to open the attachement and run the exe.

Virus Total permlink and MD5: 2ddc320f9b9e1302696166e8372072ba.
