Trojan |
This Trojan has a malicious payload. It is a Windows PE EXE file. The Trojan
components may vary in size from 17KB to 286KB.
Installation
Once launched, the Trojan extracts a file with the following name from its
body to the current user's desktop:
Raila Odinga.gif
and launches it. The user will see the following image:

The Trojan also copies its executable file to the following directory:
%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga.exe
It also extracts the following file from its body:
%Temp%\nswC.tmp\System.dll
In order to ensure that the Trojan is launched automatically each time the
system is booted, the Trojan adds a link to its executable file in the system
registry:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
@ = "%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga"
The Trojan also creates the following shortcut:
%Documents and Settings%\Start Menu \Programs\Autorun\RailaOdinga.lnk
When this shortcut is run, the Trojan executable file will be launched.
The Trojan copies its executable file to all removable media under the following
name:
<x>:\smss.exe
It also copies the extracted image:
<x>:\Raila Odinga.gif
<x> stands for the letter of the removable disk.
The Trojan creates an autorun.inf file in the root of the removable disk.
This file will automatically launch the Trojan executable file when the user
attempts to open the infected disk using Explorer.
The Trojan also recursively copies its executable file to all folders on the
removable disk. These copies use the names of files which are located in these
folders together with an .exe extension.
If your computer does not have an up-to-date antivirus, or does not have an
antivirus solution at all, follow the instructions below to delete the malicious

@ = "%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga"
- Delete the following files:
%Temp%\nswC.tmp\System.dll
%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga.exe
%Documents and Settings%\ Start Menu \Programs\Autorun\RailaOdinga.lnk
- Delete the following file from the desktop:
Raila Odinga.gif
- Delete all copies of the Trojan from removable disks.
- Delete the autorun.inf file from the root directory of all removable
disks.
- Update your antivirus databases and perform a full scan of the
computer (download a trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus).
