New Kamasutra Virus Spreading via a PowerPoint Presentation

A PowerPoint presentation named kamasutra.pps.exe of Kama Sutra demonstrating different sexual positions spreading one piece of malware. According to a report by security firm Sophos, a new virus is in action by offering user to the popular Kamasutra presentation. The PowerPoint containing information on the Kamasutra, and once it get opened by a user result in malware infection in system and allows hackers to steal data as well as be used to send spam or attack other websites.

The report by Sophos said that the malware comes as a file called Real kamasutra.pps.exe (the old double-extension trick). In other words, you may think you are directly opening a PowerPoint slideshow, but in fact you're running an executable program.


The PowerPoint slide deck (which ironically is itself "clean" from the malware point of view) is then dropped onto your Windows PC as a decoy while malware silently installs onto your computer as AdobeUpdater.exe, alongside some other components (called jqa.exe and acrobat.exe).


When you click on the file you do get to see a real PowerPoint presentation, but in the background a backdoor Trojan called Troj/Bckdr-RFM is installed which allows hackers to gain remote access to your computer. Once they have get access to your computer, they can use it to relay spam around the world, steal your identity, spy on your activities, install revenue-generating adware or launch denial of service attacks. You must be aware of such tricks and files with name like Kamasutra which attract your easily and don't click on unknown files.
