    Attacker's goals: An attacker is attempting to load untrusted code into trusted contexts to avoid detection or escalate privileges.
    Investigative actions: Investigate the loaded module and verify if it is malicious. Check if the disk is a mounted CD-ROM (for example from an ISO file), and if it contains hidden files and folders. Check the content of an 'autorun.inf' or '.lnk' files if they exist.
