Spyware Information: Backdoor.Agobot.HM
This is a back door application. Such software hides on your computer and gives someone else (a hacker or other unauthorized user) access to everything on your computer. The "back door" is generally so large that the unauthorized user will have access to everything -- often times, he can even see what's on your screen and use your computer just as you would. For this reason, these applications represent a very serious security and privacy risk.
