Trojan:Win32/Starter creates an unauthorized user account on the system and adds that account to the administrator group as a “Remote Service Account".
 
On July 16, 2007, Microsoft identified a misclassification in the Trojan:Win32/Starter signature which could result in erroneous detections of this Trojan in certain PE files created by Quick Batch File Compiler. To address this issue, impacted customers should update to signature files with version number 2740.6 or above.

Virus:VBS/Starter.A.gen is a generic detection for VB Script viruses that launch executables on the local machine using infected active desktop templates (HTT files for customizing a folder's view). The folder template is altered by the executable part of the virus.
 
Once the user opens or browses a folder with the infected active desktop template (HTT file), the infected template, and thus the virus, is run. It then infects other HTT files found in the system.
 
This virus exploits a vulnerability in a Microsoft ActiveX control addressed in MS99-032.
