Spyware Information: Serv-U FTP Server
This is a remote administration tool. Some remote administration tools are constructive -- they let you work from home, for example, or access your files while you're traveling. Others can be used by hackers or other unauthorized individuals to watch everything that happens on your computer, or to even take control of your computer. Because these tools give the remote person the same access that you have, sitting right at your computer, they can be a very serious security and privacy concern.
In the case of Serv-U FTP Server, you should make sure that this is software that you have installed yourself and that you trust.
