According to VERC, this new virus is an SMS interception trojan. The source code of this virus is very common on the Internet and the SMS interception code can be easily written with the source code, which leads to the large number of its variations and frequent appearance.

The virus can read and access short message contents, access network resources, read programs, write programs write to SD cards, access contact information, and gain related information about latest running tasks.

In addition, the virus will hide its icon after installation, activate the device manager, and prevent uninstallation.
