Systems Affected:
Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000
This program can be downloaded from www.ematrixsoft.com.

When the risk is executed, it creates the following files:

  • %System%\adsnwk.exe
  • %System%\keylappini.ini
  • %System%\mscomct2.ocx
  • %System%\TABCTL32.OCX
  • %System%\MSCHRT20.OCX
  • %System%\mxpvct22.dat
  • %System%\mxpvct25.dat
  • %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\MSIda[RANDOM NUMBERS].LOG
  • %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp\[RANDOM CHARACTERS].tmp
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\data\dpnsvrk.exe
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\data\emxfile005.dat
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\data\keylusr.ini
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\data\ps_demo_report.html
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\data\testftpok.html
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\data\vssvck.exe
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\help.chm
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\License.txt
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\readme.txt
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\unins000.dat
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\unins000.exe
  • %ProgramFiles%\KEYCS\winkeyl.exe
  • %Windir%\Installer\[RANDOM NUMBERS].mst

Next, it creates the following registry entry so that it runs every time Windows starts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\"adsnwk" = "%System%\adsnwk.exe"

The program also creates the following registry entries:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\comdlg32.OCX" = "2"
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSCOMCTL.OCX" = "2"
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscomct2.OCX" = "1"
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvbvm60.dll" = "2"
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mxpvct22.dat" = "1"
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mxpvct25.dat" = "1"


It then creates the following registry subkeys:

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chilkat.Email2.1
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chilkat.Email2
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chilkat.EmailBundle2.1
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chilkat.EmailBundle2
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chilkat.MailMan2.1
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chilkat.MailMan2
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChilkatMail2.ChilkatEmail2.1
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChilkatMail2.ChilkatEmail2
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChilkatMail2.ChilkatEmailBundle2.1
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChilkatMail2.ChilkatEmailBundle2
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2.1
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChilkatMail2.ChilkatMailMan2
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{06544919-F559-4AE5-9001-F903BD8A84E6}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{51A0888C-9970-44DE-8C2C-835BA870D06F}

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{D56C1AF1-3FDE-471C-9BC2-C52515F260C1}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{E656B867-992C-4462-A27D-EBE604EC3A48}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{1DF3AFED-99E0-4474-9900-954B8FD24E86}

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\KSM_is1
