Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Popularity Rank: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

W32.Shadesrat.C is a worm that is distributed by attackers through removable drives. W32.Shadesrat.C also proliferates through various peer-to-peer programs that include Kazaa, BitTorrent, eMule, Azureus, and LimeWire. W32.Shadesrat.C can also try to spread through AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). W32.Shadesrat.C also opens a back door on the compromised PC. When activated, W32.Shadesrat.C replicates itself by creating potentially infectious files. W32.Shadesrat.C creates the specific file so that it can start automatically when the drives are accessed. W32.Shadesrat.C executes the specific process if the victim is running Windows XP or Windows 7. W32.Shadesrat.C then copies a signed Microsoft .NET ClickOnce Launch Utility file as the specific file. W32.Shadesrat.C then creates the certain registry entry so that it can start automatically whenever you boot up Windows. W32.Shadesrat.C also creates a few registry entries in order to avoid the Windows firewall. W32.Shadesrat.C then modifies the specific registry entry to permit the certain firewall exceptions.

Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.| Total Blocks: | 1,804 |

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- Agent.KFF
