Summary

This is a trojan horse program that installs various ad- and spyware utilities, as well as extracting and showing a child pornographic movie. File size is 193536 bytes. File name as submitted to us is "childporn*******movie.mpeg.exe".

Spreading description

The trojan does not spread by itself.  It is likely that it has been manually distributed in fora where people would download and run it - f.ex. in file sharing networks.

File system changes:

\\TEMP\\childporn.wmv.      
\\win32.exe.      
\\msits.exe.      
\\cmd32.exe
loadadv713.exe. 
\\kernels64.exe                                

The files installed are:

win32.exe, kernels64.exe : Installers for Tibs, BraveSentry and other malware. Tibs is a downloader for pornographic adware, BraveSentry is a scam-based "AntiSpyware" utility.
msits.exe, cmd32.exe : Downloads SpySheriff and other downloaders. SpySheriff is another scam-based "AntiSpyware" utility.
loadadv713.exe : Another downloader

This is a quite common scenario - downloaders that download more downloaders which download more downloaders - it goes on and on.

Threat description

The trojan installs a number of files in addition to the pornographic movie. These files are mostly downloaders that fetch other malicious ad- and spyware utilities. While this happens, the trojan extracts and displays a WMV movie ("childporn.wmv") involving sex with a clearly underage girl.
