Type
Trojan

Description
Troj/Psyme-M is a script-based downloader Trojan which exploits the ADODB stream vulnerabilty associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer to download and run an executable.
Troj/Psyme-M downloads sm.exe from http://www.vilrokman.com.ru/troy.jpg and then runs sm.exe.

Troj/Psyme-M typically arrives on the computer by browsing websites whose HTML pages contain the script or whose pages import the script from another file via the src= attribute of a <script> element.
