Characteristics
This detection is an application type, for a "potentially unwanted application". The program can terminate processes on local or remote WinNT or Win2K systems. This tool was built for use by administrators to do remote system administration.
However, this application has been used by many trojans, such as the Egghead trojan for malicious purposes.
The current command-line scanner detects such applications with the additional /PROGRAM switch, as does VirusScan 7 (via configuration pages).
