Comments 
Funny Trojan is a French trojan. So, we could not understand all of the features. The server is written in assembly which is why it's 5.5K. The whole package comes with the server, a exe infector, a remover and two joke programs. The first joke program, Californ.exe makes all the windows on the screen shake and move around. Just close the program to stop it. The second program, gravedad.exe displays a picture of the screen flipped. Just click on the screen to remove the picture.

How To Remove 
Quick fix: no quick fix programs
Manual removal:

  1. Remove the tasknet key in the registry located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run  Which can be done with regedit or any other registry editing program. 
  2. Reboot the computer or close tasknet.exe.
  3. Delete the trojan file tasknet.exe in the windows directory.
