I was recently checking my desktop PC for some malicious files saved on my system folder. It was because I was alarmed by the irregular behavior which my PC showed last night while I was playing the Red Alert 2 game.  And on the system folder, I found the COMCT332.OCX file.

And did you know that COMCT332.OCX file is one of the files of the Spyware.ScreenView?

According to the Symantec, Spyware. ScreenView is a spyware program that monitors user activity on computers in a local area network. It infects Windows OS only and is actually installed manually. As it is activated, it creates files on your disk such as:

  • %Windir%\system32\COMCT332.OCX
  • %Windir%\system32\COMDLG32.OCX
  • %Windir%\system32\HH.EXE
  • %Windir%\system32\MCLHotkey.ocx
  • %Windir%\system32\mscomctl.ocx
  • %Windir%\system32\MSMASK32.OCX
  • %Windir%\system32\MSVBVM60.DLL
  • %Windir%\system32\MSWINSCK.OCX
  • %Windir%\system32\Sspl.dll
  • %Windir%\system32\VB6STKIT.DLL
  • %Windir%\system32\ZTray.ocx
  • %Windir%\folders.nfo
  • %Windir%\Setup1.exe
  • %Windir%\ST6UNST.EXE
  • %Windir%\svrmgr.exe
  • %UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\ScreenView\ScreenView.LNK
  • %ProgramFiles%\ScreenView\ScreenView.crc
  • %ProgramFiles%\ScreenView\ScreenView.exe
  • %ProgramFiles%\ScreenView\ST6UNST.LOG
  • %ProgramFiles%\ScreenView\svhelp.chm
  • %ProgramFiles%\svrmgr\ST6UNST.LOG

And then it inserts values on the registry.
