    • iexplore.exe
    • explorer.exe
    • services.exe
    • winlogon.exe

    • SetWindowsHookExA (log stuff, I suspect key logging)
    • UrlDownloadFileA (download more stuff to update it self, maybe)
    • CreateMutex (I guess so that only one instance runs)
    • WriteProcessMemory (don’t know, looks evil)
    • GetProcAddress (load what ever functionality from dlls, I couldn’t find LoadLibrary, however)
    • CreateRemoteThread (looks bad)
    • Process Management and file management
    • Registry functions
    • String handling, both from shell api and native, both ANSI and UNICODE
