Overview

Vendor Notes:

 From the doc: 'Das Programm ist ein Sicherheitsprogramm gegen Cracker. Es soll EXE, DLL, SCR gegen unbefugten Veränderungen und Manipulationen schützen. Es ist leicht zu handhaben und extrem schnell. Die geschützte EXE ist nur max. 27kb großer als das Orginal. Es kommt darauf an wie die Optionen gesetzt wurden. Diese Software wird immer gewartet und soll Software gegen Cracker und Hacker sicherer machen was nicht heißen soll das es absolut sicher ist!!! Wer noch andere TOP-SOFTWARE sucht, sollte mal auf meine Homepage surfen! Da gibts eine ganze Menge von vielen Programmen.'

Alias:

 MultiDropper-EW [McAfee], Trojan Horse [Panda], TrojanDropper.Win32.ExeStealth.23 [Kaspersky], Win32.ExeStealth.23 [Computer Associates], Win32/ExeStealth.23!Trojan [Computer Associates]

Category:

Trojan Creation Tool: A program designed to create Trojans. Some of these tools merely wrap existing Trojans, to make them harder to detect. Others add a trojan to an existing product (such as RegEdit.exe), making it a Dropper.

Dropper: In viruses and trojans, the dropper is the part of the program that installs the hostile code onto the system.

Trojan: Any program with a hidden intent. Trojans are one of the leading causes of breaking into machines. If you pull down a program from a chat room, new group, or even from unsolicited e-mail, then the program is likely trojaned with some subversive purpose. The word Trojan can be used as a verb: To trojan a program is to add subversive functionality to an existing program. For example, a trojaned login program might be programmed to accept a certain password for any user's account that the hacker can use to log back into the system at any time. Rootkits often contain a suite of such trojaned programs.
