Please follow the instructions for removing Trojans.
Windows NT/2000/XP/2003
In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entries. The removal of these entries is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.
Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.
Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Winsock32driver = wn32server.scr
or
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Winsock32driver = win32server.exe
and delete it if it exists.
Close the registry editor.
More Information
Troj/Hackarmy-A is an IRC backdoor Trojan that copies itself into the Windows system folder as win32server.scr or win32server.exe and sets the registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Winsock32driver = wn32server.scr
or
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Winsock32driver = win32server.exe
The Trojan then logs on to a predefined IRC server and waits for backdoor commands.
