More Information
Troj/Ranck-AF is an HTTP proxy. The Trojan runs an HTTP proxy server on a randomly chosen port. The port number is reported to a number of websites, thus allowing a remote intruder to route HTTP traffic through the computer.
In order to ensure that the Trojan is run each time Windows starts Troj/Ranck-AF creates the following registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\fddddHOME
