SRVMon 3.1 belongs to RAT spyware.
It's presense means that your computer is infected with
malicious
software and is insecure.
This RAT is also known as:
·DreamSys Server Monitor 3.1.
RAT: A Remote Administration Tool, or RAT, is a Trojan that
when run,
provides an attacker with the capability of remotely
controlling a
machine via a ""client"" in the
attacker's machine, and a ""server""
in the victim's machine. Examples include Back Orifice,
NetBus,
SubSeven, and Hack'a'tack. What happens when a server is
installed in
a victim's machine depends on the capabilities of the
trojan, the
interests of the attacker, and whether or not control of the
server is
ever gained by another attacker -- who might have entirely
different
interests. Infections by remote administration Trojans on
Windows
machines are becoming as frequent as viruses. One common
vector is
through File and Print Sharing, when home users
inadvertently open up
their system to the rest of the world. If an attacker has
access to
the hard-drive, he/she can place the trojan in the startup
folder.
This will run the trojan the next time the user logs in.
Another
common vector is when the attacker simply e-mails the trojan
to the
user along with a social engineering hack that convinces the
user to
run it against their better judgment.
