11/23: BackDoor-CLK Trojan Copies Itself
November 23, 2004

BackDoor-CLK is a back door Trojan that when executed, copies itself to the %Sysdir% folder as CSMSS.EXE. e.g. C:\Winnt\System32\CSMSS.EXE

The following registry key is updated so that the files run after every restart:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "spoolsvr32"= C:\Winnt\system32\CSMSS.EXE

A DLL file (WINACPI.DLL) is dropped into the %SYSDIR% folder which is a BHO (Browser Helper Object) and this DLL component is injected in to the memory space of Explorer.exe. The following registry key is created so that the DLL is loaded at every startup:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5E2121EE-0300-11D4-8D3B-444553540000}\ "InprocServer32"= C:\winnt\System32\winacpi.dll
