Risk: Severe Risk

* Severe threats typically are remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, which can lead to system compromise.

Attacker has complete control over your computer or install new software on your machine.

Description: When run, this trojan copies itself locally as "EXPLORER.EXE " in the Windows directory. It uses this file-name to appear to be a vital Windows file. A space is used at the end of its file-name so that there are not conflicts with the real "EXPLORER.EXE" which is also found in the Windows directory. The trojan uses a standard executable-file type icon, which will also differentiate it from the true "EXPLORER.EXE" which uses its own specific icon.
