Type: Spyware
Publisher: SpyGuard
Risk Impact: High
Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP
When Spyware.Spy-Guard is installed, it performs the following actions:
- Creates the following files:
- %CurrentFolder%\MSFLXGRD.OCX (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %CurrentFolder%\TABCTL32.ocx (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %CurrentFolder%\MSSTDFMT.DLL (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %CurrentFolder%\MSVBVM60.DLL (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %CurrentFolder%\STDFTFR.DLL (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %CurrentFolder%\STDOLE2.TLB (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %CurrentFolder%\svcmon.exe
- %CurrentFolder%\setup.bat
- %CurrentFolder%\Installation.txt
- %CurrentFolder%\license_condition d'utilisation.txt
- %System%\esys.dll
- %System%\Flxgdfr.dll (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\Msflxgrd.ocx (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\Msstdfmt.dll (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\stdftfr.dll (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\Tabctfr.dll (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\Tabctl32.ocx (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\Vb6fr.dll (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
- %System%\Vb6stkit.dll (This is a non-malicious component that may be used by other applications.)
Note:
- %CurrentFolder% is a variable that refers to the folder where the risk was originally executed.
- %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).
- Creates the following folders:
- %CurrentFolder%\win_95_98
- %CurrentFolder%\win2000
- %CurrentFolder%\win_me
- %CurrentFolder%\win_xp
- Adds the value:
"svcmon" = "%CurrentFolder%\svcmon.exe"
to the registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.
Note: The risk also creates numerous legitimate registry entries associated with the non-malicious components that are installed by it.
- Logs keystrokes and monitors user activity, such as Web sites visited. This risk also allows users the ability to block access to specific Web sites.
