Trunlow, also known as Psyme, is a trojan designed to steal user passwords. It is distributed through specific links found in malicious web pages and pop-ups able to exploit certain Internet Explorer vulnerabilities. Once executed, the parasite attempts to terminate running antivirus processes, download from the Internet and run password-recovery software or other malicious files. Then it steals system passwords, dial-up configuration details and passwords of e-mail accounts and transfers them to a predetermined remote host or uploads to a predefined FTP server. Trunlow is able to silently update itself via the Internet. The threat runs on every Windows startup.
