Win32.Massaker
You would never leave your door open at all times. Why would you want the same thing for your computer? Dangerous program, Win32.Massaker does precisely that.
This parasite affects the following programs: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
It will enter as a Trojan through deceptive and secret means and will then leave a “backdoor”, specifically port 7119, open for other malware to enter. This pest is written in Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) programming language and is a Windows PE EXE file. In addition to leaving you vulnerable, it will terminate the processes of several security applications making it very difficult to remove.
