Remove Igloo. Description and removal instructions

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

Igloo is a RAT virus family, created by a hacker called SiCmaggOt. This Remote Administration tool has a lot of dangerous functions, that can turn the life of the victim in to hell. Several versions (Igloo 1.5, Igloo 1.5a, Igloo 1.5b, Igloo 1.5c, Igloo 1.8, Igloo 1.81, Igloo 2.00, Igloo 2.025) were created from December 2002 to October 2003. Every version is a threat for user security, because this RAT includes such dangerous functions as "flooder" and "surveillance". It can spy on user activity using webcam, microphone and by logging keystrokes. This virus also has "worm" abilities. It tries to spread itself to as many computers as possible. The pest was written in Delphi programming language.

From the publisher:

"1. Open Editserv.exe 2. Press Browse and Open 'Backdoor.exe' (not open like Double click, open through Editserv.exe) 3. Change ICON on server, Change UIN, Change port (if u want) 4. Save BackDoor.exe 5. Go on ICQ/MSN/AIM/IRC/ANYWHERE, Send backdoor.exe (rename else they understand .. duh). When backdoor.exe is sent, and the victim runs the file a pager will popup @ your icq. It says the port and ip. Open iGLOO.exe and connect to ip+port 6. If u think my hack has few options/functions, upload another server from another hack, like subseven, netbus, bionet. ok dudes, im tired, my hacking life is about to end. I feel like i never come up with any g00d stuff, so i dunno if i dont get like any positive feedback bout igloo then i might quit give you fucking programs, and i will hope u all suffer a painfull death and goes to hell.. .else i probelly gonna love u.' and from the code: 'This EditServ only support [iGLOO] Servers. By editing the server, you accept to take fully responsibility for server damage.'

This is iGLOO 2.01.0 , a release after first igloo 2.x series. I've added ircbot, filemanager and regedit choice (in editserver). I've also fixed some small buggs and shit. Hope u like it. Get ready for a new igloo"
