More Information

Troj/LanFilt-I is a backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.

Troj/LanFilt-I connects to the internet and attempts to send a message reporting the infection via the web-based ICQ interface. The Trojan then waits for further commands from a remote attacker.

Troj/LanFilt-I can record keystrokes, download and upload files and act as a proxy server.

Troj/LanFilt-I copies itself to the Windows system folder and sets the following registry entry in order to run automatically on computer login:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
System132
<Windows system>\Csrtss.exe
