Behavior:Win32/ClickFix is not a classic malware, but a name given to a sophisticated social engineering technique that aims to trick the targets into voluntarily initiating a chain of infection through manipulation. The attack presents itself as a fake error message, a CAPTCHA, or a phony urgent security warning. The targets surf low reputation or malicious websites, prior to receiving pop-up warnings.   The foundation of the technique is based on a social engineering tactic with hybridized clipboard hijacking to place a malicious command on the victim's clipboard, the user is then instructed to open the Windows Run dialog (Win + R) to paste (Ctrl + V) and run a command. The command uses living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins) such as mshta.exe, PowerShell, curl.exe, etc. to deliver and launch final payloads.
