Rontokbro is a dangerous email-worm that launches a mass emailing event at targeted computers. This can cause mail overflows and other system problems. It is also responsible for blocking users' access to anti-Virus removal sites and scanners as well as limiting access to Windows registry files.
This worm, like most of its kind, is contracted when the user opens an infected email attachment. The email usually goads the user into doing this, giving false pretenses for opening the attachment, such as inheritance, secret admirers, bank notices, etc. Once on the system, the worm copies itself to every email contact in the Windows directory. It protects itself by disabling the RegEdit and Cmd functions. This prevents a user from accessing the Registry in order to remove the worm. It also protects itself from anti-Virus software by shutting down the computer if certain anti-Virus commands are executed.
Rontokbro's main objectives are to replicate itself via email and to engage in mass computer flooding attacks. These attacks occur when the worm uses the infected system to send out a number of emails with corrupted requests to a specified server. If the server gets bombarded with too many of these requests, it can shut down. This is what's known as a Denial of Service or DOS attack. It is illegal, and any computer involved in the attack becomes legally liable for the damages.

What is a Trojan?
A Trojan is a shortened handle for Trojan Horse. The name, as you've probably guessed, hails from Homer's Iliad wherein Odysseus concocts a plan to defeat the Trojans by building a giant horse and stashing armed warriors inside. Once presented to the king of Troy as a gesture of surrender, the horse is brought into the city. The analogy to this type of Malware is highly apt. Trojans are malicious programs that are always attached to something legitimate. The user unwittingly downloads the game, or music, or even the rogue anti-Spyware utility, and then the Trojan that was unseen will go to work.
Any malicious program that doesn't want to be heard or seen is usually classified as a type of Trojan. That being said, there are lots of types of Trojans that have various goals. Some Trojans install Spyware; some turn your computer into a Proxy, a launchpad for spam; some install Adware; and some even open a Backdoor on your computer. This is an access point for someone to come in and literally take control of all your computer's functions and data. Although Trojans do not replicate themselves like worms, the payloads they unleash can be just as damaging.
