  • Category Description: A Trojan is a program that enables an attacker to get nearly complete control over an infected PC. Frequently used tool by malicious hackers. When this program executes, the program performs a specific set of actions. This usually works toward the goal of allowing the trojan to survive on a system and open up a backdoor.
    Comment: Troj-hackaim.irc poses as hacking tool that claims to exploit a vulnerability in AIM to allow users to obtain other accounts passwords. It prompts the user to enter the target AIM screen name which the user desires to be "hacked". The machine reboots and at this point the trojan connects to IRC server in the background and gives a message to the user that AOL has fixed the vulnerability. It then connects to various websites and downloads files of a malicious nature. Payload may change. Offers uninstaller of primary HackAim program but leaves behind malicious files designed to turn computer into a drone.
