Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D, also known as TrojanDropper:Win32/Kanav.D, is a Trojan that downloads and runs other malware threats on the infected computer system. If your PC has been affected by Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D, this means that it might also be infected with other PC threats. Once installed on the targeted machine, Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D makes system changes by adding potentially malicious files. Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D is detected as a DLL file with the same name as the Windows system DLL, 'Lpk.dll', which exists in the [system folder]. Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D is downloaded to folders which contain executable files that, during the normal course of their operation, load '[system folder]/LpK.dll'. The folders and executable files could belong to installed, legitimate applications on the computers that are tricked into loading Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D. When a program strives to load the legitimate 'LpK.dll' file from the [system folder], Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D is loaded instead. This is because a program will look for and load the DLL file in its own folder before it looks for the same-named DLL file in the [system folder]. When a program loads Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D, it downloads and runs the certain file, detected as another security infection, and sets the file with the 'hidden' attribute. Backdoor:Win32/Kanav.D then loads the original Windows system DLL, as was the aim of the program.
