virus description

After thorough scan of my pc, an executable file was flagged as infected with Win32:Trojano-1628 [Trj]. Avast moved this exec file to Virus Chest. Good.
Next, I tried to find the description of this virus on your site without success. I like to know what this virus does. How do i find the information? Thanks.

Avast! version: 4.6 HE

It’s a trojan and does what every trojan does.

Have a look at THIS SITE for definations about virus, trojans and such.

Hi Cacto,

Here is the description of the trojan: http://www.sin-espias.com/noticia.php?ntd=2089. This is in Spanish, you can translate it with babelfish.

greets,

Eddy:
Thanks for the pointer. Now, I understand how trojan viruses behave. Ok. Specifically, I want to know how this virus breaks things in Windows XP because I ran the virus.
After I accidentally doubleclicked this exec file, a DOS window came up telling “Lick my balls…” ::slight_smile:
I’ve manually located the following files so far in windows\system32:
mspeupx.exe(21kB), temp.exe(92kB), a shortcut to mspeupx.exe.
Not sure if they were dropped from the virus.

polonus:
Thanks for the pointer. Impressed with detailed description of this trojan virus. The link recommends registry check. No entries to the files above found in my registry.
