Trojan Downloader - Downloader-AVC

Sunday, May 28, 2006
Overview:
This is a trojan detection. Unlike viruses, trojans do not self-replicate. They are spread manually, often under the premise that they are beneficial or wanted. The most common installation methods involve system or security exploitation, and unsuspecting users manually executing unknown programs. Distribution channels include email, malicious or hacked web pages, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), peer-to-peer networks, etc.

Characteristics:
Trojan Downloader are designed to download files from a remote website and execute the files that have been downloaded.
