This thing is complex attack in four stages:
1. stage downloads encoded second stage
2. second stage deploys: 3rd stage, AdancedRun and drops from resources AveMaria - which is detected by sandbox.
3. third stage deploys NanoCore RAT - possibly this was done manually by attacker.

I don't think this might be AveMaria (at least not as previously known version).
