Classe: Trojan-FakeAV
Uma classe de programas maliciosos que simulam a atividade do software antivírus ou partes dos módulos de segurança do sistema operacional. Esses programas são projetados para extorquir dinheiro dos usuários em troca da suposta detecção e remoção de ameaças, que na verdade são inexistentes. De um modo geral, este malware mostra muitos pop-ups de repetição em um esforço para fazer com que o usuário se preocupe com a segurança de seu sistema e pague por softwares antivírus falsos. Além disso, os programas do Trojan-FakeAV impedem que o computador funcione corretamente, mas não inibem totalmente o sistema operacional para que o usuário acredite que a ameaça é credível.Plataforma: Win32
O Win32 é uma API em sistemas operacionais baseados no Windows NT (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) que oferece suporte à execução de aplicativos de 32 bits. Uma das plataformas de programação mais difundidas do mundo.Família: Trojan-FakeAV.Win32.RegistrySmart

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
TA0002
Execution
The adversary is trying to run malicious code.
Execution consists of techniques that result in adversary-controlled code running on a local or remote system. Techniques that run malicious code are often paired with techniques from all other tactics to achieve broader goals, like exploring a network or stealing data. For example, an adversary might use a remote access tool to run a PowerShell script that does Remote System Discovery.

User Execution: Malicious File
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution. Users may be subjected to social engineering to get them to open a file that will lead to code execution. This user action will typically be observed as follow-on behavior from Spearphishing Attachment. Adversaries may use several types of files that require a user to execute them, including .doc, .pdf, .xls, .rtf, .scr, .exe, .lnk, .pif, and .cpl.
Adversaries may employ various forms of Masquerading and Obfuscated Files or Information to increase the likelihood that a user will open and successfully execute a malicious file. These methods may include using a familiar naming convention and/or password protecting the file and supplying instructions to a user on how to open it.(Citation: Password Protected Word Docs)
While Malicious File frequently occurs shortly after Initial Access it may occur at other phases of an intrusion, such as when an adversary places a file in a shared directory or on a user's desktop hoping that a user will click on it. This activity may also be seen shortly after Internal Spearphishing.
