TROJ_PROXY.PL

This Trojan is downloaded from remote sites or dropped by other malware. It can also be downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious Web sites.

It opens random ports. It acts as a proxy server to allow a remote malicious user to use the affected system in concealing the said author's identity when performing malicious activities.

Proxy servers act as an intermediary between a user and a server. Connections using a proxy server allow remote users to hide their original location since connections can only be traced to a system where this Trojan is installed.
