If the attached file is accidentally opened "Apher" automatically
initiates a connection with a remote web site. From this site a
utility enabling the control of the virus "Backdoor.Death.25" is
loaded on the infected machine.
In turn, this program permits the evildoer to clandestinely manage an
infected computer, to view and send out confidential information, and
create, copy and delete files in addition to much more.
Detection for this trojan has already been added to the Kaspersky
antivirus database.
