More Information

Troj/Bdoor-CHR is a backdoor Trojan. Troj/Bdoor-CHR is a backdoor Trojan that can listen on IRC channels for commands from an attacker.

Troj/Bdoor-CHR creates a copy of itself in the Windows system folder with the filename dx32hhlp.exe and also drops a component in the same folder with the filename dx32hhec.sys. This component is used to hide the backdoor Trojan from anti-virus scanners but can be stopped by entering the command "NET STOP DX32HHEC" to stop the service dx32hhec.

Troj/Bdoor-CHR may append the HOSTS file with the following information to prevent internet access to popular anti-virus and security related web sites:
