Trojan.Autoproxy

Description

This indicates detection of autoproxy trojan activity.
The Autoproxy trojan can install itself on a host as a proxy server by taking advantage of a Microsoft Internet Explorer OBJECT tag vulnerability. An infected system will try to contact a "master server" for commands to possibly infect other hosts.

Affected Products

Any unprotected system running Internet Explorer without the correct patch is vulnerable to the attack.

Impact

System compromise.

Recommended Actions

Apply the appropriate patches or upgrade the system to the latest non-vulnerable version
