Trojan:Win32/Alureon.BP is a detection for a particular Microsoft Windows DLL file that has been modified to load a malicious library.

 

A file detected as Trojan:Win32/Alureon.BP is a modified MSVCRT.DLL file. This file may have been modified by another malware. The modification replaces an API (Application Programming Interface) exported by MSVCRT.DLL with a snippet of malicious code designed to load a DLL named DLL.DLL, which is possibly a dropped malicious component of the Win32/Alureon family of trojans.

Windows Defender detects this threat.

 

This trojan is a variant of the Alureon malware family. It infects your PC's master boot record.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.BF is the detection for a DLL file usually dropped along with an installation of a known fake anti-virus malware family called Trojan:Win32/FakeRean. Trojan:Win32/Alureon.BF may be used to redirect the affected machine to various preconfigured Web sites.

Virus:Win32/Alureon.G is a detection for system drivers infected by members of the Win32/Alureon family.

 

Win32/Alureon is a multi-component family of trojans involved in a broad range of subversive activities online in order to generate revenue from various sources for its controllers. Mostly, Win32/Alureon is associated with moderating affected user's activities online to the attacker's benefit. As such, the various components of this family have been used for:

 

 

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.B is a trojan that may help an attacker intercept inbound and outbound Internet traffic from the host computer. This may allow an attacker to capture confidential information such as user names, passwords, and credit card data. The trojan may also enable an attacker to transmit malicious data to the infected computer. Trojan:Win32/Alureon.B may modify DNS settings on the host computer to enable the attacker to perform malicious tasks. Therefore it may be necessary to reconfigure DNS settings after the trojan is removed from the computer.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.CG is a trojan that monitors user Web usage and may send captured data to a remote server.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.gen is a generic detection for a trojan that may alter domain name resolution (DNS).

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.E is a trojan that modifies DNS settings on the host computer. The altered DNS settings may enable an attacker to intercept inbound and outbound Internet traffic in order to gather confidential information such as user names, passwords, and credit card data. The modified DNS settings may also enable an attacker to transmit malicious data to the infected computer. Because the trojan modifies DNS settings on the computer, it may be necessary to reconfigure those settings after the trojan is removed from the computer.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.CL is a detection for a malicious version of the system file msvcrt.dll. It is modified by a component of the Win32/Alureon family to run other components.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.CJ is a detection for a malicious version of the system file msvcrt.dll. It is modified by a component of the Win32/Alureon family to run other components.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.CD is a detection for a malicious version of the system file msvcrt.dll. It is modified by a component of the Win32/Alureon family to run other components.

Trojan:Win32/Alureon.gen!U is a generic detection for a component of Win32/Alureon - a family of data-stealing trojans. These trojans allow an attacker to intercept incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in order to gather confidential information such as user names, passwords, and credit card data. The Win32/Alureon trojan may also allow an attacker to transmit malicious data to the infected computer. The trojan may modify DNS settings on the host computer to enable the attacker to perform these tasks. Therefore it may be necessary to reconfigure DNS settings after the trojan is removed from the computer.
