Backdoor.Tron

Backdoor.Tron is a backdoor Trojan which allows unauthorized access to an infected system. This backdoor attempts to kill the processes of several versions of the ZoneAlarm firewall and Tiny Personal Firewall (version 2.0.15.0); this allows Backdoor.Tron to gain access to the system without being detected by those firewalls.
