Hotword Description

Hotword is a dangerous trojan that logs user keystrokes, steals computer information and gives the attacker unauthorized remote access to a compromised PC. It sends gathered data by e-mail or uploads it to predetermined FTP servers. The intruder can use Hotword to terminate running processes, download and run arbitrary files, capture screenshots of user activity, send e-mail messages or update the trojan. Hotword is able to bypass Windows Firewall. The trojan automatically runs on every Windows startup.
