Good morning,

We were not able to deliver postal package you sent on the 22nd May in time
because the recipient’s address is not correct.

When extracted a file DHL_Tracking_NR.324-492383.DOC.exe was present. Once this file was opened it dropped in the system

[System32 Folder]pgsb.lto
[Current Profile Folder]Local SettingsTemp3.tmp

In registry it added
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonShell: “Explorer.exe rundll32.exe pgsb.lto csxyfxr”

It tried to connect to remote system, to download other trojan on the system. After few minutes the system started showing fake messages and eventually a fake antivirus program got installed.

Fake message

We have released protection against this fake AV/ Rogueware which is detected as Securityessentials2010.
