If someone wishes to test the file (which is a keygen) PM me.
When I run it, this is what it does:
-A lcass.exe file is created in C:\WINDOWS\system32\
-Creates a lcass.exe startup entry which can only be seen in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
-It cannot be seen in msconfig>startup
I am on XP Pro SP2 and NOD32 2.7 doesn't detect it. Spybot S&D reports it as "SCKeylogger". I have managed to delete the lcass.exe file and the registry startup entry in safe mode.
Right now my concern is that this malware has left some traces on my computer and I require assistance making sure it has been completely eradicated.
There are the reports on the file and its behaviour:
