Remove Aqua. Description and removal instructions

Title: Aqua
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (62 / 100)

Simple and effective hacker tool, used to steal information and annoy the user. Several versions appeared May, 2001 to September, 2001. A Remote Administration Tool (or RAT) works by a simple principle: the attacker infects the computer with a "server" program. It allows the intruder to connect via a "client" and control your machine. The functions of a RAT may vary. This virus uses such stealth techniques as "trojan" and "backdoor" to infiltrate the system. The author is Ben Sales and the programming language is Visual Basic.

From the publisher:

"Aqua (Remote Administration Kit) 0.2
====================================
1.Introduction
--------------
0.2 is almost a complete rewrite of 0.1, this is the reason that it took so long to get this version out. A rewrite was necessary to get things like file transfer working. The Winsock API wrapperwas full of bugs in version
0.1 so this has been rehashed.
0.2 sees the introduction of ServerEdit which is a major step in creating a successful remote admin tool.
