Some doubts regarding Malwares and it's software user agents - mandi - 11-08-2010
I need to confirm or need answer for this question
when ever a Application (may be malwares like RAT,keylogger,shells,backdoors) from our pc connects to internet via a software/Application,does it emits any kind of user agents from the respective Application?
Also is it must for every Application to emit a "user agent"(it may be real or fake,it does not matter) from it's software, while a connection is made to the internet?
hope some one may clear my doubt....

You mean that does ur antivirus notices you about an application that is trying to connect to internet?
It depends what antivirus you use, the 2 i know of is: avira antivir premium and nod smart security does ask you about it.
I personally use avira premium, it asks you and even show u the portnumber.
