When the Trojan is installed the following files are created: 
<Windows system folder>\msupdate.dll
<Windows system folder>\windows.idn
<Windows system folder>\winsetup.exe

msupdate.dll is also detected as Troj/CashGrab-C. winsetup.exe is detected as 
Troj/CashGrab-A. windows.idn and winst.msi are harmless text files. 
The file msupdate.dll is registered as a Browser Helper Object (BHO) for 
Microsoft Internet Explorer, creating registry entries under:
