Backdoor.Breut is a malicious backdoor Trojan that connects to the specific location in order to open a back door on the infected computer. Backdoor.Breut then records keystrokes and may download more infected files on to the corrupted PC. Once Backdoor.Breut is executed, it creates malicious system files. Backdoor.Breut also creates the certain mutex so that only one instance of the infection executes on the computer. Backdoor.Breut then enables remote attackers to grab webcam activity, change the hosts file, disable the notification setting for certain anti-virus software and download and run arbitrary programs and commands. Get rid of Backdoor.Breut immediately after detection.
