    Troj/Tobizan-A is a backdoor Trojan that creates a copy of itself named kernel32.exe in the Windows system folder and adds the following registry entries to ensure that this file is run each time Windows is started:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\kernel32
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\kernel32

    The Trojan allows a remote attacker to communicate with and control the compromised computer using IRC.
