Backdoor.Slackbot.B

Backdoor.Slackbot.B is a backdoor Trojan horse that allows a hacker to control your computer using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Backdoor.Slackbot.B can update itself by checking for newer versions over the Internet.



Possible system changes
If the Trojan has been executed and a hacker has executed files on your computer, it may be difficult to determine exactly what has been done, even after the Trojan has been removed. If you are familiar with your operating system and how to use system repair or system checking tools, we suggest that you fully check the system for any of these modifications and revert them. Otherwise, consider reinstalling the operating system.

What are Portable Executable (PE) files?
PE files are files that are portable across all Microsoft 32-bit operating systems. The same PE-format executable can be executed on any version of Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, and 2000. Therefore, all PE files are executable, but not all executable files are portable.

A good example of a Portable Executable is a screen saver (.scr) file.
