When Spyware.EliteKeylogger is installed, it does the following:

    • %UserProfile%\Desktop\SpyArsenal AIM Logger.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpyArsenal AIM Logger\Links\Download lastest version.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpyArsenal AIM Logger\Links\Mail to support.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpyArsenal AIM Logger\Links\Program's home page.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\SpyArsenal AIM Logger\SpyArsenal AIM Logger.lnk
    • %System%\CatRoot2\tmp.edb
    • %System%\csvdea\csvde.dll (detected as Spyware.GoldenKeylog)
    • %System%\csvdea\csvdea.dll
    • %System%\csvdea\csvdea.exe (detected as Spyware.SpyArsenalLog)
    • %System%\csvdea\file_id.diz
    • %System%\csvdea\license.txt
    • %System%\csvdea\Links\Download lastest version.url
    • %System%\csvdea\Links\Mail to support.url
    • %System%\csvdea\Links\Program's home page.url
    • %System%\csvdea\Links\Registration.url
    • %System%\csvdea\rva.exe (detected as Spyware.SpyArsenalLog)
    • %System%\csvdea\Uninstall.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).
    • %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\SpyArsenal-AIM-Logger
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KMiNT21\SpyArsenal-AIM-Logger
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Network\NetCfgLockHolder
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\PSSdk21
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_PSSDK21
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\MS_NDISWANBH
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NetCfgLockHolder
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PSSdk21


  3. Adds the value:

    "csvdea" = "%System%\csvdea\csvdea.exe"

    to the registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    so that it runs every time Windows starts.

  4. Records online chat conversations and saves them to %System%\csvdea.rep. The logs can then be sent to a predefined email address.
