Flingstone Bridge
Overview
vnmispoisn_downloader.exe is compressed with UPX
and works as a downloader for Flingstone Bridge,
named TROJ_SMALL.IQ
by TrendMicro. The downloader can arrive at your computer if you have
Shazaa.bh21 or Shazaa.b22
installed on your computer. It appears that the downloader leaves an empty
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run \ mswspl' value in the registry when
it has finished its work. There are some indications
[1]
[2]
[3]
that the downloader in some cases may overwrite the legitimate Windows Media Player file
wmplayer.exe.
Symantec and
TrendMicro offers
