The Trojan:Script/SuspDown family (and variants like .SZ, .SC, and .SZA) is a heuristic signature for script-based SuspDown trojan family. The purpose is downloading and running additional malicious payloads like retrievers, information stealers and ransomware on the compromised devices.  

These threats are often installed on devices through malicious email attachments but can also be embedded in pirated commercial software or through malicious downloads from a website. The primary goal of this script is to be the initial entry point to allow follow-on attacks that lead to full compromise and later data theft. 

Having this malware on a device places an organization at considerable risk to security and immediate action needs to be taken to remediate the active infection before it incurs more damage. Defending against attacks in this malware family requires a layered security approach including behavior and real-time security control. They make small changes, then even smaller changes to bypass signature-based security software.
