First discovered on August 27, 2002, Backoor Trojan program Win32.Laphex promises to provide you and unending supply of headaches and frustration.  Once it has entered the targeted system, it will enter through a predetermined backdoor access point or port.  It will then create the following files:

%windir%installname.exe. This is 24,064 bytes [UPX-compressed] and 52,224 [uncompressed] in length.
%windir%installname.dll. This is 22,016 bytes.

The purpose of targeting your computer is to use your PC for ill purposes and to steal personal information.  Win32.Laphex will be able to gain control of your PC once it has established communication with its hacker and then it will be only a matter of time before you begin to lose normal function of your PC.
