Severity scale:
Backdoor Trojan Win32.Kaiten gains access to your machine most likely through a spam e-mail. Once inside, it is then controlled through an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Network. Once this pest is inside, it will add the following registry entry, which will allow it to run on each Windows startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\TaskReg
Once it connects to its IRC server it joins the channel #!ninja!. It is here that it will await further commands from its author about what to do next. Its main function is to perform Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
