    At the time of writing Sophos has received just one report of this Trojan from the wild.


    Troj/Boa-A is a keylogging Trojan. The Trojan monitors keypresses and other system activity and periodically sends an email to the attacker containing a log of the actions monitored on the victim's machine.

    When Troj/Boa-A is first executed a copy will be created in the System folder with the filename msnet.exe and the following two registry files will be created so that the Trojan is run when Windows starts up:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\msnet
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\msnet
