Description: 

This Trojan acts as a Web server proxy. It turns the affected system into a proxy server that accepts web requests and forwards them to the appropriate server. This allows a malicious user to setup a web server and use the affected host to hide the remote web server’s original IP address.

TrendMicro has received reports that this Trojan is being used to serve websites that have links to pornographic sites and that it uses the affected hosts to hide the origin of these websites.

This malware also determines the connection speed of the affected host and sends this information to a remote host.

This malware is developed in Microsoft Visual C++ and runs on Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.
