Remove Pointex. Description and removal instructions

Title: Pointex
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. It opens a default TCP port 47895 and awaits commands from the intruder. 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 Chinese RAT tool was written in Visual Basic and compressed with ASPack. The pest originated in March 2005. You may also find this virus in the internet under such names as Pointex (a), Pointex (j) and Pointex (k).
