Danrit Removal Guide

Danrit is a dangerous backdoor that provides the attacker with unauthorized remote access to a compromised PC. The spyware arrives in executable file, which has the icon of Adobe Acrobat document. Once the user runs such file, the backdoor installs itself to the computer and attempts to launch Adobe Acrobat and open a predetermined local document in order to trick the user into thinking that a valid PDF file was opened. Then Danrit runs a payload. It opens a back door, which allows the intruder to run applications on a compromised PC, and starts logging all user keystrokes. Gathered data is sent to a predefined e-mail address every day from Monday to Thursday. The backdoor also creates a user account with the administrator's privileges. Danrit can automatically uninstall itself and remove all traces of its presence in the computer. Every Friday it will terminate own processes, remove all related objects, created scheduled tasks and added user account. Danrit automatically runs on every Windows startup.
