Java.Exploit.CVE-2010-0840.B is a generic detection for a piece of malicious code that exploit a vulnerability in the Java virtual machine. Successful exploitation causes remote code execution. When an Internet user enters a website that contains the applet using a PC that is running a vulnerable version of Java, security software may be bypassed, enabling arbitrary code to be executed. When loaded, Java.Exploit.CVE-2010-0840.B checks if the computer is running Windows, and if so, installs itself. Java.Exploit.CVE-2010-0840.B may be bundled with other non-malicious Java class applets. Java.Exploit.CVE-2010-0840.B downloads and runs arbitrary files. If the exploitation is successful, Java.Exploit.CVE-2010-0840.B tries to download and run a malicious program from a particular URL, sent as a parameter to the applet. Remove Java.Exploit.CVE-2010-0840.B, if infected, immediately after detection.
