VTCollection    

This is a backdoor that establishes persistence using the Startup folder.
It communicates to its C&C server using HTTPS and a static HTTP User-Agent
string. QUICKRIDE is capable of gathering information about the system,
downloading and loading executables, and uninstalling itself. It was leveraged
against banks in Poland.
