More Information
Troj/Ranck-AV is a backdoor Trojan that allows a remote intruder to route HTTP traffic through the infected computer.
The Trojan creates the following registry entry so as to run itself on computer restart:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
vDGDGvvsa dqdw = <path to file<
Troj/Ranck-AV when run listens on a randomly chosen TCP port in the range 10000-50000. The Trojan notifies a remote web server of the listening port via a web request.
