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

    • %UserProfile%\Application Data\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller\LogDB\C0000000
    • %UserProfile%\Application Data\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller\LogDB\cfgdb.idx
    • %UserProfile%\Application Data\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller\LogDB\logdb.idx
    • %UserProfile%\Desktop\e-Surveiller Station.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\e-Surveiller Help.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\e-Surveiller log viewer.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\e-Surveiller Station.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\Ordering Information.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\Read Me.lnk
    • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\Uninstall e-Surveiller.lnk
    • %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\e-Surveiller Help.lnk
    • %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\e-Surveiller log viewer.lnk
    • %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\e-Surveiller Station.lnk
    • %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\Ordering Information.lnk
    • %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\e-Surveiller\Read Me.lnk
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\alert.wav
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\asycfilt.bin
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\COMCAT.bin
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\deactive.BIN
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\install.BIN
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\install.ico
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\makensis.exe
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\MON.BIN
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\msvbvm50.bin
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\MSWINSCK.BIN
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\oleaut32.bin
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\olepro32.bin
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\Build\stdole2.bin
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\eshelp.chm
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\esicons.fon
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\eSRead.exe
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\eStation.exe
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\eSUpdate.exe
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\esviewer.chm
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\JPeg32.dll
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\order.htm
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\orderonline.gif
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\ReadMe.txt
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\uninstall.exe
    • %ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\zlib.dll
    • %UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\apps.ini
    • %CurrentFolder%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].exe

      When one of these files, %CurrentFolder%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].exe, is executed is it drops the following files:

    • %System%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].exe
    • %System%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].ini
    • %System%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].tmp

      The names of these files will be the same as the %CurrentFolder%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].exe file dropped by the risk.

      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).
    • %SystemDrive% is a variable that refers to the drive on which Windows is installed. By default, this is drive C.
    • %ProgramFiles% is a variable that refers to the program files folder. By default, this is C:\Program Files.
    • %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).

  2. Creates the following legitimate files, which may be used by other programs:

    • %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\RICHED32.DLL
    • %System%\comdlg32.ocx
    • %System%\mscomct2.ocx
    • %System%\mscomctl.ocx
    • %System%\mswinsck.ocx
    • %System%\richtx32.ocx
    • %System%\zlib.dll

  3. Creates the following registry subkeys:

    HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\SurveilleTech
    HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller
    HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller\1.x
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\e-Surveiller.Logfile
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\e-Surveiller
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SurveilleTech
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SurveilleTech\e-Surveiller\1.x


  4. Adds the value:

    "" = "e-Surveiller.Logfile"

    to the registry subkey:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zlg

    so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.

  5. Adds the value:

    "e-Surveiller Station" = "%ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\estation.exe"

    to the registry subkeys:

    HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce


    so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.

  6. Adds the value:

    "esicons" = "%ProgramFiles%\e-Surveiller\esicons.fon"

    to the registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

    so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.

  7. Adds the value:

    "[CONFIGURABLE FILE NAME]" = "%System%\[CONFIGURABLE FILE NAME].exe"

    to the registry subkeys:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_ALL_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


    so that the risk runs every time Windows starts.

  8. Monitors and records the following activities on the compromised computer:

    • Keystrokes
    • Mouse clicks
    • Instant message conversations
    • Internet activity
    • Applications used
