Trojan.Win32.VFL
This is a Trojan horse that sets several Windows parameters on a network so that it can set, under the author's name, a 100% increase in Internet speed (for details, see http://www.optimizator.ru). Upon program installation, the program substitutes the SHDOCLC.DLL system file. As a result, when a requested Internet Explorer is displayed, a user is transferred to http://vfl.ru/js (henceforth the virus' name). Upon deleting this program from a computer, the SHDOCLC.DLL file is altered.
This malicious program is a Trojan because of the following characteristics:
- It changes Windows system files unbeknownst to a user;
- It doesn't have full uninstalling procedures;
- Upon program deleting, the SHDOCLC.DLL system file is not restored;
- It allows for the use of modified SHDOCLC.DLL files installed on a computer for malevolent (bad) purposes |
