When Spyware.Snoop is installed, it performs the following actions:
    1. Creates the following file:

      %UserProfile%\Desktop\snoopinstall.exe

      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).

    2. Creates the following files in a folder defined by the user:

      • icunst.exe
      • sninp.dll
      • snoop.chm
      • Snoop.exe
      • Uninstall.sop

    3. Creates the following registry subkeys:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID
      \{48FCE750-50E8-4656-D1B7-A1C99D9042B0}
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID
      \{6C43F32A-4DFF-11D6-8286-0010A4066CF2}
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib
      \{47303B26-D24E-FF56-4C1B-ABF29E26C538}
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Snoop.Document
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ASProtect
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Snoop

    4. Adds the value:

      "Snoop" = "C:\[FOLDER DEFINED BY THE USER]\Snoop.exe /auto"

      to the registry subkey:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

      so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.

    5. Monitors user activity such as URLs visited and emails sent. It also logs keystrokes and sends the logs to a predefined email address.
