Remove HGZ. Description and removal instructions

Title: HGZ
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (50 / 100)

A Remote Administration Tool is a special kind of hacker spyware, used
for remote access and control of other people's computers. The attacker
infects the PC via the e-mail or File and Print Sharing. A "server"
allows him to connect via a "client" on his own machine. The functions
of a RAT may vary, depending on the needs of the hacker. Some RATs
can't really harm your PC and the only purpose they were made for is
hooliganism. But some versions can steal vital information, delete
files and even crash your system. This RAT was created by a Chinese
hacker called HGZ. Several versions (HGZ 0.0.1, HGZ 0.1, HGZ 0.3, HGZ
1.0, HGZ 2003 beta 2) appeared in the internet from August 2002 to
January 2004. The virus is written in Delphi and compressed with
ASPack. The interface of this program is written in Chinese.
