When a user clicks the hyperlink specified in the email message, they are taken
to a web page that contains an ActiveX control. This control is loaded at
startup, resulting in an immediate prompt which should warn you something is not
quite right NOTE: This control is signed with an invalid signature:. If
the YES button is pressed, the installer is run. The following files are
extracted to disk.
- tellafriend.exe (trojan file)
- zeropopup.inf
(installer setup file)
- zeropopupbar.dll (potentially unwanted application
designed to prevent popup windows during browsing)
The tellafriend.exe
file sends email messages to all addresses found in the Windows Address Book
(WAB) and Eudora Address Book (nndbase.txt), using the default SMTP server as
specified in the Internet Account Manager or OMI Account Manager. And worst of
all it sends those messages to YOUR email contacts and pretends that YOU are
recommending it. But that is not all, the end user agreement ( which most people
don't read ) describes its other actions, which include changing the default
start page, and search page of YOUR Internet Explorer.
