Title: Dermon
Type: Trojans	Severity scale: (75 / 100)

Dermon is a dangerous trojan with rich set of malicious functions. It runs on every Windows startup and secretly works in background. Dermon logs all keystrokes, steals user critical passwords and e-mail account details, collects system information. It records all this data into a file and sends it to the attacker. Dermon runs hidden proxy service, terminates active firewall and antivirus processes, downloads and installs files from the Internet. It alters the registry to set Internet Explorer as the default web browser. It also may give the attacker remote unauthorized access to a compromised system. Dermon activity severely decreases overall system performance and Internet connection speed.
