Removing Win32.Agent
Categories: Trojan,Backdoor
This loose category includes a variety of Trojans that damage victim machines or
threaten data integrity, or impair the functioning of the victim machine.

Multi-purpose Trojans are also included in this group, as some virus writers
create multi-functional Trojans rather than Trojan packs.
