Crypt.Trojan.MSIL.DDS

Short bio

Crypt.Trojan.MSIL.DDS is Malwarebytes’ generic detection name for Trojans that are packed and compiled from Microsoft Intermediate Language, as detected by Malwarebytes’ Katana engine.

The detection names are produced by Malwarebytes 5 and ThreatDown business products. These generic malware detections are due to our automated signature system called BytesTotal and specifically the DDS engine that are based on Machine Learning technology with 100% autonomous learning which don’t require any human interaction to correctly identify malware. These techniques are part of Malwarebytes’ Katana engine and were developed for automated mass detection of wide ranges of malware and adware.

Malicious behavior

The Crypt.Trojan.MSIL.DDS detection is based on the way the file is packed and compiled, which means the Trojan payload could be anything.

Downloading cracked applications or keygens

Downloading unknown free programs (games, screensavers, and simple, entertainment-related applications)

Opening infected attachments and macros

Opening an image or other type of file that is in reality an executable with a changed extension
