<SubSeven Version 2.2 is of a class of viruses known as Trojan Horses. This specific virus is able to capture keystrokes and other local host activity and files, and relay this information to a central server via email or IRC channels. SubSeven must be downloaded and installed locally. This process can occur in the background while an unsuspecting user installs or runs a shell program. For example, a user downloads what they think is an animated joke. They run the program that displays the joke while in the background SubSeven installs and launches itself.
