More Information
Troj/Philix is a backdoor Trojan which allows a remote user to access and control the machine via IRC channels.
When run, the Trojan tries to connect to an IRC server and join a specific channel. It then runs in the background as a server process, listening on the IRC channel for specific commands and carrying out the appropriate actions. The Trojan creates the registry entry
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
\Windows shell emulator = <Pathname of Trojan>
so that it is run automatically each time the computer is restarted.
