Remove Protoss. Description and removal instructions

Title: Protoss
Type: Remote Administration Tools	Severity scale: (57 / 100)

This is a Remote Administration Tool that is used by hackers to control the victim's machine remotely. The possibilities of such programs depend on the needs of the attacker. 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 RAT creates a "backdoor" in the security system of the infected PC. It allows the intruder to bypass the AV protection and connect completely unnoticed. Several versions (Protoss 1.3, Protoss 1.3m, Protoss 1.5) of this RAT appeared in the internet from February 2001 to September 2002. The author is a hacker called Shanghai Kid. He wrote this pest using Visual C++ and Visual Basic programming languages.
