W32/Kookoo-A is an appending virus for the Windows platform.
W32/Kookoo-A runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer.
W32/Kookoo-A includes functionality to:
- send stolen confidential information to a remote address
- provide a proxy server
- silently download, install and run new software
- terminate and delete anti-virus related software
