Sophos Anti-Virus: Troj/Wlook-A - Spyware Trojan

The Trojan horse "Troj/Wlook-A" causes the following phenomena:
- the network connection of an infected computer fails from time to time (disconnects)
- it slows down the network
- IP address conflict occurs in a number of PCs in the same subnet because the Trojan spoofs IP addresses
An infected computer will send lots of fake ARP requests in the local network. This process repeats in a continuous loop causing congestion and degradation in network performance.
Aliases: McAfee: BackDoor-CYG, TrendMicro: BKDR_NPFECT.A
