Troj/Pushdo-Gen is a family of Trojans for the Windows platform.

When members of Troj/Pushdo-Gen are installed they drop and run a further file in memory, usually detected as Troj/Pushu-Gen or Mal/Basine-C. This will usually then drop further files, including some of the following:

<Windows>\system32\drivers\ip6fw.sys
<Windows>\system32\drivers\netdtect.sys
<System>\drivers\runtime.sys
<System>\drivers\secdrv.sys

These files are used to provide stealthing for the Trojan.

The dropped file in memory will also usually attempt to inject further code into Internet Explorer.
