Remove BO2K. Description and removal instructions

Title: BO2K
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (70 / 100)

This is a non commercial freeware RAT program. It is presented as a tool that helps the net administrators to control their workspace more effectively, but a quick inspection of vendor description leaves no doubt, that this program is a RAT virus. It can be classified as a very dangerous program, because it allows the intruder not only to control the infected PC remotely but also to spy on user activities, log keystrokes and steal passwords.

From the publisher:
"Built upon the phenomenal success of Back Orifice released in August 98, BO2K puts network administrators solidly back in control. In control of the system, network, registry, passwords, file system, and processes. BO2K is a lot like other major file-synchronization and remote control packages that are on the market as commercial products. Except that BO2K is smaller, faster, free, and very, very extensible. With the help of the open-source development community, BO2K will grow even more powerful. With new plugins and features being added all the time, BO2K is an obvious choice for the productive network administrator.
