Trojan Disguised as Trend Micro Component Drops BitCoin Miner App

We recently encountered a file and noticed the following properties (see below). For the untrained eye, this file can be mistaken as a Trend Micro product/component.

This malware is already detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_RIMECUD.AJL.
