About Trojan NetBUIE

NetBuie is a Trojan horse that comes disguised as an XBox emulator. Its only purpose is to produce periodic hits on a specific Internet Web page. (At the time that this write-up was published, the Web site had been removed.)

The XBox emulator in question is a fake emulator program produced by Linar Software/Studios.

When NetBuie runs, it does the following:

It copies the following files to your system:
  • \%Desktop%\Xbox_emulator.0.34.exe. This is the fake XBox program.
  • C:\Windows\System\Archive.exe. This also contains a fake XBox program.

    NOTE: The two copies of the fake XBox program are not malicious, and, as such, are not detected by Norton AntiVirus.
  • C:\Windows\System\NetBUIE.exe
  • C:\Windows\System\RegUpdate.exe
  • C:\Windows\System\Sucess.exe

NetBuie also adds the value

to these registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Run

so that the Trojan runs when you start Windows.

Also known as: TrojanClicker.NetBuie.a, Trojan/Win32.Elitec
