Remove Red-Spy

Red-Spy Description

This is a Remote Administration Tool that is used by hackers to control the victim's machine remotely. The possibilities of such applications depend on the needs of the attacker. The attacker infects the PC via the e-mail or File and Print Sharing. A "server" allows him to connect via a "client" on his own machine. The functions of a RAT may vary, depending on the needs of the hacker. Some RATs can't really harm your PC and the only purpose they were made for is hooliganism. But some versions can steal vital information, remove files and even crash your computer. The author of this RAT is a Polish hacker called Spy. Several versions appeared in the internet in March 2003.
