Comments 
My Very Own trojan is an open source Delphi trojan. The server does not come compiled and we could not fully compile it because our Delphi is running under Windows NT. Because we could not compile it, we are estimating its size to be about 351 kilobytes. The server is controlled by telnet. 

How To Remove 
Quick fix: no quick fix programs
Manual removal:

  1. Remove the SchedulingAgent key in the registry located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run  Which can be done with regedit or any other registry editing program.
