Remove Beast. Description and removal instructions

 
Title: Beast

Type: Remote Administration Tools
Severity scale:Beast severity is 70  (70 / 100)
 
Beast is just one RAT virus from a huge family of Remote Administration
Tools. As the number of the version grows, so does the damage and the
risk of infection. This program has all the necessary RAT functions,
that makes it a very dangerous pest. Ti can be used for spying on user,
because it includes a "keylogger" function. It also has the ability to
disable victim's personal Firewall protection. The author is a hacker
called Tataye. Written in Delphi and compressed with ASPack. Variants
appeared from April 2001 to March 2004.

From the publisher:
"1.7: From the doc: 'both client and server are embedded in one exe.
When running the exe you have two options - run as a Client or as a
Server. All you have to do is to run once Beast as a Server on the
victim's computer. Before installing, the server can be edited (i.e.
you can set the trojan name, the port and a password for connection).
The Trojan will start automatically at the Windoze boot '
1.8: From the doc: 'The server and the client are embedded in one exe -
a trojan pack. When running the exe you'll notice there are two options
- Run Client or Build Server. If you choose the building option, you
will be prompt to configure the server and afterwards the server is
extracted with your settings. SERVER FEATURES: - set the listening port
- set the password for connection - set the name - choose an icon
(there are few built-in icons or you can select another from specific
files - exe, ico, dll) - the server can't be edited after extraction -
good startup methods (these can't be selected) - option for melting the
server - option for Firewall & AV killing - set ICQ notification - set
mail notification - hotkeys: if testing server on your own computer you
can stop it until next boot with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-DOWN and kill it with
CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-TAB - size ~193K (not bad for a Delphi app) - only one
port opened for all downloadz, uploadz, commands CLIENT FEATURES: -
file manager: download, upload, erase all files etc. - windows optionz:
poweroff, shutdown, reboot, logoff, hide all appz, close all appz - app
manager - process manager - get log: all the keys and opened windows
are stored in an ecrypted file - message box - clipboard - update
server - fun stuff: enable-disable taskbar etc.'
1.90: From the doc: 'The server, the client and the server editor are
embedded in one exe - a trojan pack. When you choose to build the
server, you will be prompt to configure the server and afterwards it'll
be extracted with your settings. Server features: - set the listening
port - set the password for connection - set the name - choose an icon
(there are few built-in icons or you can select ANY icon from specific
files - exe, ico, dll) - the server can't be edited after extraction -
2 startup methods (if you choose the 'continuous' method the server
will be launched everytime an exe is ran; this method has an side
effect, the computer can't be restarted or shuted down from the start
button - this isn't a programming bug, but i'll try to bypass this
annoying thing on the next version) - option for melting the server on
the first run - option for keylloger - option for Firewall & AV killing
(over 300 AV-FW are killed) - set ICQ notification - set mail
notification - option for hotkeys: if enabling this option you can stop
the server with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-DOWN and kill it with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-TAB
(this could be useful when testing the server or your own computer) -
size: ~31K - only one port opened for all downloadz, uploadz, commands
- stability: 100% (you can try to crash the server and if you succeed
please let me know) - server memory usage: 200-500k (could be sometime
a little greater, but for short period) Client Features: - file
manager: download, upload, erase all files (beginning with the last
drive ;-)) etc. - windows optionz: poweroff, shutdown, reboot, logoff,
hide all appz, close all appz - app manager: view/kill visible appz -
process manager: you can kill any NT service - registry manager: view,
add, remove keys (values) - get log: all the keys and opened windows
are trapped and stored in an encrypted file - message box: send
messages to the server - clipboard: view & set clipboard text - update
server - fun stuff: enable-disable taskbar etc. etc.'
2.01: From the doc: 'One of the Fearless coders, Simon Vallor (AKA
Gobo), is in jail from January 2003. He was convicted by the London's
Southwark Crown Court to 2 years in jail and this for few harmless
viruses made by him in 2001. Show your support for Gobo at:
