Characteristics
This is an application, not a virus or trojan. It is a proxy server application which enables users to route various protocol requests through a single machine (running the proxy server).
When run, the application will display a message box alerting the user to the danger of running the proxy in an open state:
Once the application is running, an icon is visible in the systray, enabling the application to be configured:
The application has been bundled into various IRC/Flood malware packages, coupled with a trojan file designed to launch the application. The above warning message is quickly removed when the application is launched via the trojan launcher file. The launcher (which is nothing to do with the perfectly legitimate application) is detected as malware, as AnalogX-Proxy.ldr.
