Trojan.Clagger is a Trojan horse that attempts to download and execute a file from the Internet.
The Trojan reportedly arrives as an email attachment ebay_rechnung.pdf.exe.
Once executed, the Trojan creates the following files:
%System%\ipf.exe
%System%\drivers\winut.dat
It then creates the following registry entry so that it runs every time Windows starts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"IPF" = "%System%\ipf.exe"
The Trojan creates the following registry entry as an infection marker:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\"WindowsShell" = "1"
The Trojan also modifies the following registry entries to allow it to bypass the Windows Firewall:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\"[PATH TO THE TROJAN]" = "[PATH TO THE TROJAN]:*:Enabled:[TROJAN FILENAME]"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\"%System%\ipf.exe" = "%System%\ipf.exe%:*:Enabled:ipf"
Next, the Trojan attempts to download one of the following text files that contains an encrypted URL.

The Trojan then decrypts the encrypted URL, which is the following URL, and downloads an executable file from the URL:
http://cwmdulais.org.uk/images/93.exe
At the time of writing, there was no file available at the URL.
