      Note:
    • %UserProfile% is a variable that refers to the current user's profile folder. By default, this is C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENT USER] (Windows NT/2000/XP).
    • %System% is a variable that refers to the System folder. By default this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\Winnt\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).

  2. Creates the following registry subkeys:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.ber
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.dbf
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.dsv
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.elt
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\BER
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DBF
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DSV
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ELT
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\BEWREP.EXE
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\BECONFIG.EXE
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\BEWREP.EXE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Boss Everyware 2.8_is1
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Jmerik
    HKEY_USERS\Software\Jmerik

  3. Adds the value:

    "SysWsa32" =
    "%System%\WSA32.EXE"

    to the registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    so that the risk runs everytime Windows starts.

  4. Logs the following information:

    • Keystrokes
    • Web sites visited
