Re: ZIP Attachment

I did a little Google digging and came up with this:
http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/detail.php?id=4239

Filename:        expander.exe 
Program Title:  HiJaak Expander
Rating:             3 (application need to be run at startup, but is not
system critical)
Comments:      Part of the HiJaak graphics tools.

There were a number of hits (even things like Stuffit Expander), which
could be related. What caught my eye about this one is the "HiJaak
graphics tools". Hijack? Graphics? Sound fitting. =)

All,

Just got an attachment in this afternoon.  The zipped file conatins 3
files:

1. foto.jpeg
2. foto.html
3. expander.exe

that will extract to its own foto directory when clicked on.  Also, when
clicked on, the foto (not bad :) ) will be shown while the file
expander.exe is being installed.

Here is the result:

expander.exe places itself in the C:\winnt directory as hidden.

2 Keys are added to the registry:

1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run
        SVCHOST value=c:\winnt\expander.exe

2.HKEY_USERS\5-1-5-21-579898441-688789844-1957994488-500\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

        SVCHOST value=c:\winnt\expander.exe

It does install and run as a service.

It doesn't seem to have any listeners running.

I've look on McAfee and Symantec sites for this one, doesn't seem to be
there.

Anyone have an idea of what this is?  I'd appreciate any feedback.

If anyone wants this attachment, let me know.

Thanks
