Comments:
Every two minutes, the server tries to get a file from: http://members.xoom.com/HaTFTP/ip.txt I haven't had the time to figure out the use of this, perhaps this has something to do with the "Transmit IP" feature of the client, or perhaps this is a stealth "feature" built-in by the authors of the trojan. The location is hard coded into the server-executable.

How To Remove:
1. Remove the Explorer32 key in the registry located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. This can be done with regedit or any other registry editing program.
2. Reboot the computer or close Expl32.exe.
3. Delete the trojan file Expl32.exe in the windows directory
