When Adware.Starware is installed, it performs the following actions:
    1. Creates the following files:

      • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\PaqTool\Paq Keylog.lnk
      • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\PaqTool\Uninstall Paq keylog.lnk
      • %UserProfile%\Desktop\Paq Keylog.lnk
      • %ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\KeyLog.exe
      • %ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\launchDll.dll
      • %ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\logo.avi
      • %ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\paqlog.cfg
      • %ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\unins000.dat
      • %ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\unins000.exe
      • %System%\golyy5dd1.dll

        Notes:
      • %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).
      • %ProgramFiles% is a variable that refers to the program files folder. By default, this is C:\Program Files.
      • %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 keys:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Paq KeyLog_is1
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\golbup


    3. Adds the value:

      "VC_Log" = "%ProgramFiles%\PaqTool\keylog\keylog.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.
