Exploit:JS/Coolex.D is a script, which is included in an exploit pack known as the 'Cool exploit kit'. Exploit:JS/Coolex.D can install other security threats on the targeted computer through exploiting software vulnerabilities in Java version 7, update 17 and earlier. As the Cool Exploit Kit and the Blacole Exploit Kit share malicious web page patterns and exploits, in some instances a PC user might see Exploit:JS/Blacole detected on the computer alongside Exploit:JS/Coolex.D. Exploit:JS/Coolex.D is loaded if the computer user visits a malicious or hijacked website. The hijacked web browser may be diverted to another website, which contains the exploit code found as Exploit:JS/Coolex.D, which attempts to install malware threats on the vulnerable computer system based on what programs the computer user has installed. If the target PC user has Java, Adobe Flash, or Adobe Reader in the computer, Exploit:JS/Coolex.D may attempt to exploit certain software vulnerabilities in these programs to install malware infections.
