Farsighter
Farsighter is a Remote Administration Tool (RAT).
The server package has two important components. Serverconfig.exe which is the front-end binary for configuring the daemon, and fserv.exe which is the actual listener itself.
This tool could be used as a monitoring application hence it can be considered as a riskware.
Please see the Riskware desription for additional details.
The domain sureshotsoftware.com is registered to a Swedish based location and appears to be legitimate.
Server Package
Creates these files:
- %program files%\farsighter Server
- %program files%\farsighter Server\faq.html
- %program files%\farsighter Server\manual.html
- %program files%\farsighter Server\serverconfig.exe
- %program files%\farsighter Server\system\config.cfg

- %program files%\farsighter Server\uninstall.bat
The files serverconfig.exe and fserv.exe are detected as Monitor.Win32.Farsighter.a.
Notes:

Functions as a port listener more like an admin tool.
Application fserv.exe is only run when you select "start server" from serverconfig.exe. When you select "stop server" it kills fserv.exe which is the port listener.
Doesn't transmit any outgoing packet, doesn't steal information.
