(69 / 100)

Redplut is a virus. Once executed, it installs itself to the system and attempts to reboot a computer. Then Redplut copies itself to local RAR and Zip archives and infects files of installed frequently used software including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, the Task Manager, etc. The virus also attempts to create unprotected network shares and spread the infection through them. Redplut runs telnet and mail servers, the Task Scheduler, the Messenger and the Remote Registry services. This is made in order to lower overall system security and allow remote attackers to access the compromised computer. The virus also disables the Windows Firewall, Automatic Updates, System File Protection and other essential services. Redplut may change the Internet Explorer default home page and the desktop wallpaper. The parasite automatically runs on every Windows startup. It is also executed when the user opens a text file.

Redplut properties:
• Changes browser settings
• Hides from the user
• Stays resident in background
