my.exe - A Second PWS Trojan Infection

This section describes a second possible PWS Trojan infection that executed my.exe from C:\WINDOWS\Temp and another .exe file from C:\WINDOWS\system32. Both of them tried to install .sys files.

3 hours later on the same day, more Trojan activities were detected by McAfee VirusScan. See OnAccessScanLog.txt log file records below:

   \yvspqn.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\bpcxyq.exe\bpcxyq.exe\0000d500.EXE 
   PWS-Mmorpg.gen (Trojan)

As you can see that 2 more malicious executable programs, my.exe and yvspqn.exe, got installed and executed, similar to xyoqrxybpq.exe mentioned in the previous section.

But there were some things new here in these records:

Because of these differences, I may actually have 2 different Trojan infections, one at 6:01pm and one at 9:34pm.
