SMTP: .REG
This signature detects e-mail attachments that have the extension .reg and were sent through SMTP. Because .REGs (Registry Entries) files contain entries for the Registry, this can indicate an incoming e-mail virus. Attackers can create malicious entries, tricking users into executing the file and infecting the system.
Extended Description
The impact on the target system is dependent on the instructions contained in the malicious .reg file.
