Cold Fusion Description

ColdFusion is a dangerous RAT with lots of malicious features. It is based on classical "server and client" technology. Server runs on a compromised PC and the client part is used by the attacker to control server remotely. ColdFusion server's functions can vary depending on initial configuration made by hacker. Usually it secretly runs on every Windows startup, accepts unauthorized remote connections, modifies critical computer settings, logs keystrokes and allows to manipulate all local files. Most ColdFusion versions have the ability to terminate and launch any installed software. Some configurations also can take screenshots of user activity and spy on a user via attached web cam. Installed ColdFusion violates user's privacy and damages the computer. It should be removed using advanced antivirus and malware removal tools.
