Probably some ZBot modification, but don't remember that I saw such behaviour [at least hosts file modification].
Microsoft: PWS:Win32/Zbot.AEQ

Modifies hosts file for AV site/update block.
Runs from HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Windows Init
Copies itself to %appdata%\xqvpszmglcpxhjoynyfeq1oj2m3xkfql2\svcnost.exe
Firewall bypass by adding to trusted: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List\C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\xqvpszmglcpxhjoynyfeq1oj2m3xkfql2\svcnost.exe
Also dropped %appdata%\desktop.ini - PE exe with

Unlike ZBot don't restore autorun item in registry.

Could someone post a memory dump of this malware, please?

I am testing something in Buster Sandbox Analyzer and I would need a memory dump of this sample.

Thanks in advance!

Decrypted in attach. This is not true Zbot, this is piece of delphi junk + spambot (Mailer.dll) inside.

He-h, I forgot about my VM with this Spambot only about a 10 minutes and my provider blocked me to 15 minutes for spam sending company :facepalm:

EP_X0FF & rkhunter: Thank you very much!

I noticed EP_X0FF´s dump is different than rkhunter´s, meanwhile rkhunter's dump and the dump done by Buster Sandbox Analyzer using Vlad-Ioan Topan´s MDmp are almost the same.

It is payload extracted from memory when crypter already decrypted container. Additionally it was compressed with UPX - removed. So this is not dump in classical meaning of memory dump like mdump does.

Ah, ok! That explains it. :)
