Trojan.Click3.9243

Added to the Dr.Web virus database: 2014-08-04

Virus description added:

This is a Trojan that simulates a human clicking on ads to increase the click-through rates. The Trojan is spread under the name Ad Expert Browser by the partner program Installmonster (also known as Zipmonster).

After Trojan.Click3.9243 is successfully installed and launched, it creates a hidden desktop, named mntdesktop55, and then starts its own process on this desktop:

Launched off the screen, the Trojan imitates user actions by moving the mouse pointer and clicking advertising banners, scrolling webpages, downloading video clips (using the implemented set of codecs). It contains the following set of user-agent values:

  2. If you cannot boot the OS, change the BIOS settings to boot your system from a CD or USB drive. Download the image of the emergency system repair disk Dr.Web® LiveDisk , mount it on a USB drive or burn it to a CD/DVD. After booting up with this media, run a full scan and cure all the detected threats.
