More Information
Troj/Proxyser-G is a Trojan that runs a SOCKS proxy server.
Troj/Proxyser-G creates the following registry entry so that it is automatically run after logon:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
sox
<filename>
(Where <filename> is the full path to the Trojan executable.)
Troj/Proxyser-G registers itself as a service process then starts a SOCKS4 proxy server on a randomly-chosen TCP port. Anyone connecting to this port can route internet traffic through the infected machine.
Troj/Proxyser-G notifies its author of the proxy server's presence by submitting information to a preconfigured website.
