Dasher.d

Dasher.d is an Internet worm that infects vulnerable remote PCs running the Microsoft Windows operating computer with unpatched security flaws. The infection process does not require any user interaction. Once installed, Dasher.d runs a spreading routine. Then it opens a back door that provides the attacker with unauthorized remote access to a compromised PC. The intruder can download from a predefined FTP server and execute arbitrary files. Dasher.d also terminates some running antivirus applications, firewalls and other security-related software. It is able to lower security settings on the infected computer by altering the Windows registry.
