Remove Pitfall. Description and removal instructions

Title: Pitfall
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (55 / 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. The pest was written by a Brazilian hacker called Intruder. Several versions (Pitfall 1.0, Pitfall 2.0, Pitfall 2.1, Pitfall Armlock, Pitfall Surprise) appeared in the internet from February 2000 to June 2001.
