Kinza is a very dangerous virus feared to be a product of Eneenza Associates that is designed to harvest personal information of users from computer and send anonymous email, for advertising purpose. Newfolder.exe virus is also believed to be one of their products.
The most dangerous part of kinza is that it secretly logs all the keystrokes of user's computer and sends to eneenza@gmail.com. It completely invades privacy of infected computers' users.
Not only that, the bigger part is that it secretly opens a backdoor port on compromised host so that the computer can be controlled remotely via internet. It makes computer very slow and is very difficult to remove even for security personnels.
If not removed quickly, it can even damage USB drives, floppy drives and can also corrupt hard disk clusters. Kinza hogs the CPU usage quite heavily.
Recently, it has been confirmed that "isetup.exe" (along with explorer.exe) is a variant of kinza virus. The Bad news is that it is not detected by any anti virus program. It has been checked with AVG, NOD32, MCAFEE, NORTON, AVAST and KASPERSKY anti virus, and it could not be detected.
Kinza also attempts to disable common firewalls. The only thing it doesn't do is that it is visible in the process list and the registry. But that also with different unnoticeable one. Kinza also adds secret startup methods in the registry.
