Anyone else have the latest variants of this virus? I'm trying to hunt for them but it's rough. Malwarebyte's forums has tons, but I've yet to get invited into their malware hunter group.

It also dumps around 10-12 randomly named .exe's into the syswow64 directory.

Please share what you find if you come across this again. A sample of each exe from %appdata% and syswow64/system32 will work. A screenshot and VirusTotal scan would be very helpful for us as well. Use the first 2 posts in this topic as an example. Many times with rogues the exe that runs the UI acts also as a dropper, so you may in fact have found a dropper already. Thanks! :)

Ok, this is probably a different one but I remember some fake-AVs that create dozens or hunderds of small (empty?) .exe files in the system directories to be used as their "targets". They were named like those identification names used by real AVs, such as "W32.Trojan873426.exe" so when the victim sees them he thinks they are real. I think "SoftSoldier" was one of the fake AV programs that did this.

Thanks Thisisu!

Keep them coming from the malwarebytes forum if you can, I'm still trying to gain some access.
