Malware Overview
This Trojan may be downloaded from remote sites by other malware. It may be dropped by other malware.
It searches and encrypts files with certain extension names found on any readable and writable drives.
As a result, the said files become unreadable. It then drops and opens a .VBS file which informs the user that the files have been encrypted, and that special software must be purchased to decrypt the files. It displays the following message box:

The given address which the affected user should email to acquire the decryptor is a random email address.
After encryption, it changes the filename of the encrypted file by adding ._CRYPT extension. For example, if the original filename is DOCUMENT.TXT, it becomes DOCUMENT.TXT._CRYPT.
This Trojan also drops the file !_READ_ME_!.txt in all folders that has encrypted files. The said file contains the following strings:
Your files are encrypted with RSA-1024 algorithm.
To recovery your files you need to buy our decryptor.
