Description: 

This Trojan arrives as a file downloaded by another malware detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_SMALL.HCK.

It opens a random port and acts as a proxy server. The said action allows a remote user to gain anonymous connections to the Internet by using the affected system as a proxy server. Proxy servers act as an intermediary between a user and a server. Connections using a proxy server allow remote users to hide their original location since connections can only be traced to a system where this Trojan is installed.
