Brief Description | |
Isa.B is a Trojan, which although seemingly inoffensive, can actually carry out attacks and intrusions. It reduces the security level of the computer:
it changes system permissions, decreasing the security level. Isa.B uses the following propagation or distribution methods: - Exploiting vulnerabilities with the intervention of the user: exploiting vulnerabilities in file formats or applications. To exploit them successfully it needs the intervention of the user: opening files, viewing malicious web pages, reading emails, etc.
- Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs: it makes copies of itself with enticing names in shared folders belonging to these programs. Other users of this type of networks then voluntarily download and run the infected files.
- Computer networks (mapped drives): it creates copies of itself in mapped drives.
