Yes. Beast, or more commonly known as a Remote Administration Tool (RAT), is a backdoor Trojan program. It is capable of infecting Windows computers from 95 to XP. Beast is written in Delphi and became quite common among virus writers and hackers due to its unique features. Beast was one of the first Trojans to feature a reverse connection (a method usually used to bypass firewall security on open ports) and once established, gave the hacker total control over the victim's machine.
Beast comes with these mods and features:
- Direct or Reverse connection option
- DLL injection location (e.g. explorer.exe)
- Server name change option
- Server installation directory (e.g.
) - Various IP and Server info notification options (e.g. email, icq, cgi, etc.)
- Startup keys selection
- Antivirus and firewall killing
- Other miscellaneous options (e.g. automatic server file deletion, fake error messages, offline keylogger, icon changer, etc.)
If you are infected with Beast, you should immediately attempt to cleanse the threat (although this may be difficult as the Trojan takes over the entire computer) or take your PC to a specialist.

How does anti malware software works?
Anti-malware software can work by using one or combination of multiple techniques to detect malware. 1. Checksums: They can use a technique known as checksums. The anti-malware program cross-references the size of the scanned file from the previous boot and compares it with its current size. If the file is larger than it was before, than the anti-malware program suspects a virus or another type of malware. 2. Detection from database: The anti-malware program uses a database full of the "signature" of every known malware agent. The anti-malware program scans each file and compares its contents with the signature of the known malware agent. If it finds a match, it flags the file as infected and attempts to disinfect it, quarantine it, or remove it. 3. Heuristics: The most advanced technique is something called heuristics analysis. The anti-malware program monitors the computer system constantly and attempts to find any malware-like activity, like changes to the registry, the size of a file changes, a program is installed, etc. 4. Sandboxing: An AM sometimes let the program install but it will put it into a remote area from where it will be monitored first. If it doesn't show any malicious behavior, the AM will allow the program to run outside that remote area but if it shows any malicious behavior, AM will terminate the program. This is what secure hunter anti malware did on my PC running on Windows 8.
