Exploit:JS/Blacole.F is a JavaScript that executes a series of malicious code in an attempt to exploit computers that may be running vulnerable versions of certain software. If exploitation is successful, various malware may be downloaded.

Exploit:SWF/Blacole.A is a detection for malicious code within specially crafted Adobe Shockwave flash (.SWF) files. The malicious files are commonly distributed via an exploit kit, known as "Blackhole", within compromised webpages. The malware is capable of redirecting a web browser to another specified website and downloading and executing arbitrary files.

Exploit:Java/Blacole.X is a malicious Java applet that exploits the vulnerability described in CVE-2010-0840. Successful exploitation may lead to remote code execution.

Exploit:JS/Blacole.BV is the detection for malicious JavaScript that loads a series of other exploits that are distributed as components of the "Blackhole kit". If the computer runs a vulnerable version of certain software and exploitation is successful, various malware may be downloaded.

Exploit:JS/Blacole.BD is the detection for malicious JavaScript that contains exploit code and is distributed as components of the "Blackhole kit". If the computer runs a vulnerable version of certain software and exploitation is successful, various malware may be downloaded.

JS/Blacole is a detection for a component of the Blackhole exploit kit - a kit used by attackers to distribute malware. Attackers install the kit onto a server, and then when you visit the compromised server, the kit attempts to exploit various, multiple vulnerabilities on your computer in order to install malware. For example, if you browsed a compromised website containing the exploit pack using a vulnerable computer, malware could be downloaded and installed onto your computer.

Typically, the Blackhole exploit kit attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in applications such as Oracle Java, Sun Java, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

Exploit:SWF/Blacole.E is the detection for malicious code within specially crafted Adobe Shockwave Flash (.SWF) files. The malicious files are commonly distributed via an exploit kit, known as "Blackhole", within compromised webpages. The malware is capable of redirecting a web browser to another specified website and downloading and executing arbitrary files.

Exploit:JS/Blacole.AV is a malicious JavaScript that attempts to exploit several vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat and Reader. If the exploit is successful in compromising a vulnerable host, it could result in downloading and executing other malware.

Java/Blacole.IT is a detection for a component of the Blackhole exploit kit - a kit used by attackers to distribute malware. Attackers install the kit onto a server, and then when you visit the compromised server, the kit attempts to exploit various, multiple vulnerabilities on your computer in order to install malware.
