  • .ini
  • .justbtcwillhelpyou
  • .lnk
  • .msi

It avoids files which contain any of the following strings in their path:

  • %systemdrive%\­windows
  • %systemdrive%\­winnt
  • %systemdrive%\­boot
  • %systemdrive%\­users\­all users
  • %systemdrive%\­documents and settings\­all users

  • gomacro10.bat
  • macrosoft10.exe
  • HOW_TO_DECRYPT_FILES.html
  • %malwarefilename%
  • desktop.ini
  • ntuser.dat

The trojan encrypts the file content.


The Rijndael-128 encryption algorithm is used.


The extension of the encrypted files is changed to:

  • %originalfilepath%.justbtcwillhelpyou

To decrypt files the user is requested to comply with given conditions in exchange for a password/instructions.

The trojan executes the following files:

  • %commonappdata%\­BackupHomeDir\­macrosoft10.exe
  • %commonappdata%\­BackupHomeDir\­gomacro10.bat

The trojan then removes itself from the computer.
