Detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus
Aliases: No associated aliases
Summary
VirTool:Win32/Injector.gen!B is a generic detection for files that inject malicious code into running processes. The malicious code is usually encrypted, and is decrypted before it is loaded into memory. The malicious code may be injected into a clean process or loaded as a new process of its own. This type of injector may be capable of detecting if it is running in a virtual environment to make it more difficult to analyze.
Manual removal is not recommended for this threat. To detect and remove this threat and other malicious software that may have been installed, run a full-system scan with an up-to-date antivirus product such as Microsoft Security Essentials.
