Description

(Symantec) The purpose of Trojan.Imecab is to set up a persistent remote access account on the target machine with a hardcoded password. Variants of the malware were also observed with the filename guester.exe which likely refers to the functionality of adding a powerful guest account to the system.

The malware installs itself in the system as a Windows service to achieve persistence and ensure that the guest account remains available to the attacker.
