Description: 

This Trojan may be dropped by TROJ_MDROPPER.ZT.

This Trojan opens a random port and acts as a proxy server. The said action allows a remote user to gain anonymous connections to the Internet. 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 the system where this Trojan is installed.
