When Spyware.InlookExpress is installed, it performs the following actions:
  1. Creates the following files:

    • %Windir%\inlook.exe
    • %Windir%\is-QV2PM.exe
    • %Windir%\is-QV2PM.lst
    • %Windir%\sds20.oca
    • C:\sds20\final.exe ( viral )
    • C:\sds20\IEControl2.exe ( viral )
    • C:\sds20\ijl11.dll
    • C:\sds20\remie20.exe
    • C:\sds20\settings.dat
    • C:\sds20\svchost.exe ( viral )
    • C:\sds20\svchost32.exe
    • C:\sds20\TheHook.dll

      Note: %Windir% is a variable that refers to the Windows installation folder. By default, this is C:\Windows (Windows 95/98/Me/XP) or C:\Winnt (Windows NT/2000).

  2. Creates the following registry key:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\sds

  3. Adds the value:

    "sds20" = "C:\sds20\svchost.exe"

    to the registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.

  4. Logs keystrokes and captures screenshots.
