Backdoor.Agent.RCGen is a backdoor Trojan which often comes bundled with a fake defragmentation and system optimization utility named FakeHDD. Backdoor.Agent.RCGen creates its copies on all drives, especially shared ones, so that the affected computer works as a source of the backdoor Trojan. When computers provide information from their locations including the hidden copy of Backdoor.Agent.RCGen to other PCs, the receiving operating system gets a copy of Backdoor.Agent.RCGen. Backdoor.Agent.RCGen controls a hidden channel to allow remote attackers spy on the compromised PC and displays advertisements that matches a PC user's profile related to the corrupted machine. Backdoor.Agent.RCGen may also block desktop items and damage important data. Remove Backdoor.Agent.RCGen before it destroys your computer.
