Backdoor.Khaos

Backdoor.Khaos is a backdoor Trojan that gives an attacker unauthorized access to your computer. Backdoor.Khaos usually arrives as the file, Server2.exe. By default it opens port 6969 for listening.

Backdoor.Khaos does not automatically install itself, as some other program usually installs it. As a result, even if Backdoor.Khaos is installed, in most cases, it will no longer run after you restart your computer.

Backdoor.Khaos is written in Microsoft Visual Basic 5 and it requires that the Visual Basic (VB) run-time libraries be installed on your computer in order for it to execute.
