Backdoor.Dister is a Trojan horse that periodically contacts a server
for instructions and configuration data, and then sends batches of email
as the server instructs. This functionality could be used to anonymously
distribute malware or spam from an infected computer. This Trojan may be
found as a file named Diskserv.exe.
