Characteristics

This detection is of application type for "potentially unwanted applications", it is not a virus. This is a DLL for use with mIRC, to display the following system information:

  • Operating System
  • Uptime
  • CPU vendor, speed and load
  • Harddisk capacity
  • Memory usage
  • Graphics card
  • Screen resolution
  • Network or dialup interface and transfer capacity
  • Fan speeds

This application has been bundled into various IRC/Flood trojan packages, so machines where this file is detected should be carefully examined, as IRC/Flood droppers are often repackaged with new files, so it is possible that an attacker has installed hacktools or backdoors.

Users who would like to check for the presence of this program on their system should run the command line scanner with the /PROGRAM switch. Please note that VirusScan 7 has an option, which enables users to detect this kind of program automatically.
