Press Release Summary = Check Your Back Doors, "Dasher" Is Here!

Press Release Body = "Dasher.D" worm is a new and highly critical threat that
exploits a serious Windows vulnerability in Distributed Transaction Coordinator
(DTC). This vulnerability was patched by Microsoft in October 2005 . "Dasher D"
backdoor worm particularly targets Windows 2000 systems. It has the potential to
infect a large number of computers in a given network.

Three variants of Dasher namely Dasher.A, Dasher.B, Dasher.C have already been
discovered. All of them install a software, which tries to infect other vulnerable
systems. Eventually some variants of this worm start to log keystrokes and transform
the computer into a remotely controlled \"bot\" system.
