Troj/Soromo-A is a browser-hijacking Trojan.
In order to run automatically when Windows starts up the Trojan copies itself to one of the following filenames in the Windows system folder:
update.exe; explorer.exe; winlogon.exe; system.exe; taskman.exe; taskmon.exe; svchost.exe; services.exe; wupdmgr.exe; winspool.exe; webcheck.exe; wininet.exe
Troj/Soromo-A periodically starts up a browser and directs it to a URL chosen randomly from a list of websites configured by the author.
