But in the background, here’s what actually happened (based on real malware analysis reports):
| Action | Malicious Intent |
|--------|------------------|
| Drops a DLL named wlanapi.dll into System32 | DLL side-loading to intercept network traffic |
| Creates scheduled task BrowserUpdate | Runs every 4 hours to download updated malware |
| Modifies Windows hosts file | Redirects Microsoft activation servers to localhost (harmless for activation, but also blocks Windows Update) |
| Injects code into explorer.exe | Persistence without creating a new process |
Even if you "uninstall" the loader, the scheduled task and registry modifications remain.
