Watch out for the latest Trojan infection, Backdoor.Bifrose. This Backdoor Trojan was created to enter into an unsuspecting computer system, and send any gathered information from that system to a remote controller.

The fact that the Bifrose Trojan family is highly configurable only adds to the uncertainty of the location of these installation files, as the locations may vary considerably from system to system.

Once Backdoor.Bifrose has fully embedded itself within a computer system, it allows for the remote controller to perform a variety of actions, of which may include the following:

• Manage running processes
• Manipulate files or registry data
• Obtain installed program details

Once installed inside the machine, Backdoor.Bifrose will execute malicious code, destroy data, and may even include the infected machine in Bot networks, to further carry out dubious actions.
