Technical Description:

    A mutex named updater3 is created in order to allow only one instance of the malware to be executed at a time.
   The malware checks the availability of the internet connection by trying to reach www.google.com and sends ICMP echo requests to
       wikipedia.org,
       myspace.com,
        youtube.com and
        yahoo.com.
   If the sites can be reached, the malware downloads an executable file,verifies its MZ signature and executes it.
    Trojan.Patched.V has backdoor capabilities: listens on some ports and accepts multiple clients to connect.
    It creates an entry in the registry key Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad to be loaded at every system restart.
