Exploit.Applet.ActiveXComponent
Description Exploit.Applet.ActiveXComponent
Exploits a security breach in MS Internet Explorer and Outlook - (com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent security vulnerability).
This security flaw gives remote scripts and HTML pages access to any ActiveX control, which is installed on a victim's computer. The remote script can gain full control of a victim's computer, including the ability to read and write files on hard disks.
Trojan programs like JS.Trojan.Seeker and JS.Trojan.Fav use this vulnerability to modify a browser's start and search pages and to add links to the "Favorites" folder of Internet Explorer.
The Microsoft company released a patch that removes the com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent security vulnerability. We recommend visiting http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q275/6/09.ASP and installing this patch.

Fantom.954
Description Fantom.954
It is a harmless memory resident multipartite virus. It writes itself to the MBR of the hard drive and to the end of EXE files. It is encrypted in files. While accessing to infected MBR the virus calls its stealth routine.
When an infected file is executed, the virus infects the MBR and returns to the host program. While loading from infected MBR the virus hooks INT 8, waits for some time (to pass DOS loading process), then hooks INT 13h and INT 21h. The INT 13h handler contains only stealth routine. INT 21h handler intercepts file execution and calls infection routine. This handler also contains semi-stealth routine that is called on FindFirst/Next DOS calls.
The virus contains the text string:
