Remove Lurker. Description and removal instructions

Title: Lurker
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (57 / 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. It creates a "backdoor" in the security system of the victim, allowing the intruder to connect completely unnoticed. The author of this pest is a Chinese hacker called SeekInRain. The pest is written in Visual C++. It originated in August 2000. It affects Windows 95/98 operating systems. Users of Windows NT are immune to this threat.
