Adware:Linux/Multiverze!rfn - Windows Defender Threat Analysis

Adware:Linux/Multiverze!rfn is a concrete detection of adware on a Linux platform, likely designed to display unwanted advertisements and redirect user traffic. Intriguingly, it contains strings referencing Windows components like MSVBVM60.DLL and the Windows Run registry key, suggesting potential cross-platform capabilities or targeting of Windows environments running on Linux (e.g., via Wine). The adware attempts to communicate with external domains such as www.gpmce.net and www.booble.com, likely for ad delivery or command-and-control purposes.

Relevant strings associated with this threat:
 - www.gpmce.net (PEHSTR_EXT)
 - www.booble.com (PEHSTR_EXT)
 - MSVBVM60.DLL (PEHSTR_EXT)
 - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (PEHSTR_EXT)

Isolate the affected Linux system immediately. Perform a full system scan with updated antivirus/anti-malware software to detect and remove all associated malicious files and processes. Review recently installed applications, browser extensions, and system startup configurations for any suspicious entries, and monitor network traffic for connections to identified domains like www.gpmce.net. Ensure the operating system and all applications are fully patched and up-to-date.
