More Information
Troj/DSNX-05 is a backdoor Trojan which runs in the background as a server process allowing a remote user (using a client program) to gain access and control over the machine.
When first run the Trojan copies itself to the Windows System directory using the name of a randomly chosen DLL file and an EXE extension. It then creates the following registry entry so that this file is run automatically each time the machine is restarted:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\WinDSNX =
<Windows System>\<Trojan name>
