Characteristics

McAfee(R) AVERT™ recognizes that this program may have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized administrator has knowingly installed this application. If you agreed to a license agreement for this, or another bundled application, you may have legal obligations with regard to removing this software, or using the host application without this software. Please contact the software vendor for further information.

See http://vil.nai.com/vil/DATReadme.asp for a list of Program detections added to the DATs.

See http://vil.nai.com/vil/pups/configuration.htm for information about how to enable, disable, and exclude detection of legitimately installed programs.

PUP detection was added to cover for an arguable 32 bit PE file originally called "carlson.exe", having a filesize of 40.960 bytes.

The file is internally compressed with the upx packer.

The file was created using the msvc++ development tool

The application may be used for modem connections to adult websites such as:

• h##p:// www.trafficj##.nl
• h##p://prs.pay###download.nl

 the exact address omitted on purpose here.

It may add its files to:

• c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\del , the file "del" has a  filesize of: 572 bytes
• c:\Program Files\Common Files\Carlson\del , this file "del" is a 32 bit PE file, byte-identical to carlson.exe, thus having a filesize of  40.960 bytes

It may add registry entries under:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Carlson\Connection
•  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Carlson\Connection\del "Default"
•  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Carlson\Connection\del "InternetProfile"
•  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Carlson\Connection\del "uninstExe"
•  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Carlson\Connection\del "uninstShortcut"
   Data: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\del
•  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Carlson "DisplayName"
   Data: Carlson Dialer
•  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Carlson "UninstallString"
