If this file is successfully downloaded to the computer, rundll32.exe execution file (which can be found in the %WINDIR%\SysWOW64 directory or %WINDIR%\System32) is used to start it. It is worth noting that rundll.exe folder is copied, which contains the malicious DLL file, and is renamed to “svchost.exe” to confuse you.
