Helios is a large RAT virus family. Different versions include
different functions, but it is no doubt, that as the number of the
version grows, so do the possibilities of the RAT and the danger of
infection. This version was created in July 2002. The author of this
pest is HelioS. The infection peaked in such countries as Czech
Republic, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States. This
pest was written in Visual Basic. All versions have the abilities to
disable Firewalls and kill Antivirus Protections.

From the publisher:

"You can see everything that is running on the victim s comp. You may
close them too Steal passwords You can steal the victim s passes, but
for now it works only on Win98/ME and older. Doesn t work for Win2k/
KeyLogger The most useful thing I think. You can see every single key
the guy hit, abcd alt, enter, ctrl, etc ! And its placed in a window,
where you may delete and copy stuffs. Then you just copy paste it to a
.txt and save it as a log. Capture Screen : You may capture a bmp/jpg
pic of what your victim can see on his monitor. If you want to be able
to download jpg, you must first check if he has the plugin, otherway
upload it"
