Trojan.Eurosol

Trojan.Eurosol installs itself on an infected system so that it is run at startup. It does this by modifying the System.ini file and appending itself to the shell = Explorer.exe line in the [boot] section. It also creates a copy of itself in the \Windows folder as the system file NetBios32.exe.
