Comments 
Network Crack Wizard is a Russian trojan from 1998. We have two copies of this trojan. One appears to be from September 1998 and does not infect computers. The second copy is from October 1998 and does infect computers. The second copy is joined with another program that (supposedly) makes text files from dos for windows and from windows for dos. However Network Crack Wizard 1.0 also copies msbin32.exe to the windows system directory. msbin32.exe is 190 kilobytes. We could not figure out how the client works. All the server features we found from decompiling the server and guessing. 

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

  1. Remove the MSSystemSet key in the registry located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices Which can be done with regedit or any other registry editing program.
  2. Reboot the computer or close msbin32.exe.
  3. Delete the trojan file msbin32.exe in the windows system directory.
