Spyware Detail

Summary

Sandboxer is a nightmare to detect and remove. It uses random file names, which it changes from time to time. It uses random text for registry entries, and changes this text, too. It is fault-tolerant, repairing itself when part of itself is deleted. It sets its file attributes to "system" and "hidden" to make detection and removal harder. And it works as a trickler, downloading more adware, spyware, porn dialers, and the like.
