Exploit.JS.CVE-2010-0188.e is a Trojan that is distributed via spam emails containing the malicious PDF attachment. The fake emails are written in German, and most are sent from German IP addresses. The computer names referenced in the mail headers are often of the form 'Andreas-PC' or 'Kerstin-Laptop' (the names have been changed to protect the innocent), which suggests that they had been sent from German home computers.

The malicious PDF attachment, detected as Exploit.JS.CVE-2010-0188.e, names are of the form 'Mahnung recipents name.pdf' (Mahnung is German for 'reminder' or 'overdue notice') and the exploit used was CVE-2010-0188 (Adobe Acrobat libtiff Remote Code Execution Vulnerability).
Exploit.JS.CVE-2010-0188.e is difficult to spot because it is hidden under two layers of JavaScript. If Exploit.JS.CVE-2010-0188.e is successful, it downloads an executable from 'seodirect-proxy.com/adobe-update.exe'.
