  4. Set the startup registry key

  5. Start the newly copied dope.exe process

  6. Delete the original

  7. Dope.exe will check the registry key if set

  8. Call out to definitely-not-evil.com

  9. If the result is "lmao" it will open a messagebox and extract the resource

  10. Base64 decode the resource

  11. Save decoded resource as icon.gif

  12. Shellexecute to open icon.gif
