Concrete signature match: Virus Tool - Tool used to create or modify malware for .NET (Microsoft Intermediate Language) platform, family ResInject
This is a concrete detection of VirTool:MSIL/ResInject!MTB, a sophisticated .NET-based malicious tool that likely employs resource injection. It exhibits a wide array of dangerous behaviors, including API hooking, establishing persistence via scheduled tasks, abusing legitimate Windows utilities (such as rundll32, regsvr32, mshta, PowerShell, and BITS jobs), and capabilities for remote file operations, data encoding, and defense evasion.

cc06b15ba726eef22c4645294a7499a1ffb11b7234b2f0b6a088b89c1697bb37Immediately isolate the affected system to prevent further compromise and spread. Perform a full, deep scan with updated anti-malware software and remove all detected threats. Thoroughly investigate for persistence mechanisms (e.g., scheduled tasks, registry modifications) and signs of lateral movement or data exfiltration. Ensure all systems are patched and enforce strong security controls.
