These tools provide a user of the
computer on which they are installed
additional functionality for managing
other computers within the network
(restart them, find open ports, run
programs installed on these
computers).

programs
These programs are used for using
peer-to-peer networks. Intruders can
use them to spread malware

install them on the users' computers
to send spam on the users' behalf.

they do not find or disinfect anything.
