This Trojan arrives on a system as a file dropped by other malware or as a file downloaded unknowingly by users when visiting malicious sites.

NOTES:

This AutoLisp Script is executed once an AutoCAD drawing file is opened. It first searches for the file, BASE.DCL and looks for ACADDOC.LSP in the same directory where BASE.DCL is located.

It also searches for the file ACADDOC.LSP from where the current drawing file is saved. If found, it copies the content of the file ACADDOC.LSP to the file ACADDOC.LSP in the directory where BASE.DCL is located.

It then loads the file "acadapq".
