Trojan.Win32.Llac.yxq's Well-Worn but Surprisingly Effective Hiding Spot

This concealment also goes as far as changing the Registry so that Trojan.Win32.Llac.yxq can launch itself right next to the Windows startup routine, which is similar to the methods that are employed by security-violating Trojans like Backdoor.Win32.DsBot.bvp, Trojan Downloader.mb, Trojan.Win32.FakeAv.daup, Trojan.Win32.Buzus.ddbm or Backdoor.Sesent.
