Remove Millenium. Description and removal instructions

Title: Millenium
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (60 / 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 pest was written in Visual Basic programming language. The author is a hacker called Brad Monahan. Several versions (Millenium 1.0, Millenium 2.0B, Millenium 2000) appeared in the internet from December 1998 to September 2001. This RAT includes a dangerous "password capture" ability. It tries to steal passwords as they are being typed in.

From the publisher:

"Much like Netbus (No brains required!!!) Just run the MODEM.EXE to the Victim's Computer then run your client to connect to your victim!!!'
