Attention: We have transitioned to a new AAD or Microsoft Entra ID from the week of May 20, 2024. In case your tenant requires admin consent, please refer to this document located at Overview of user and admin consent - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn and grant access to App ID: 6ba09155-cb24-475b-b24f-b4e28fc74365 with graph permissions for Directory.Read.All and User.Read for continued access. While the app may appear unverified, you can confirm its legitimacy by verifying the App ID provided.
We're gradually updating threat actor names in our reports to align with the new weather-themed taxonomy. Learn about Microsoft threat actor names
Trojan:Win32/Adbehavior
Detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus
Aliases: Qoologic.AdBehavior (Sunbelt Software)
Summary
Adbehavior software displays advertisements in pop-up windows on the desktop. In order to target advertisements to the current user, the software may install a browser helper object (BHO) to monitor search terms that the user enters in certain Web search engines. The software may terminate the anti-spyware process gcasserv.exe, and may download and install software without notifying the user.
If an uninstallation program is not available for Adbehavior or if you do not want to use an Adbehavior uninstaller that is provided, use Microsoft Windows Defender or another up-to-date scanning and removal tool to detect and remove Adbehavior from your computer.
