(Note: %User Profile% is the current user's profile folder, which is usually C:\Documents and Settings\{user name} on Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003, or C:\Users\{user name} on Windows Vista and 7.)

Autostart Technique

This Trojan adds the following registry entries to enable its automatic execution at every system startup:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
b70294 = "%System Root%\b702943\b702943.exe"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
b702943 = "%User Profile%\Application Data\b702943.exe"
