FTP Server (Serv-U) daemon

Just a FTP server assistant

MS antispyware lists as severe threat, but i thought it was just my FTP server prog (ServU)

Allows others to use your computer for file sharing without your knowledge. Runs as a duplicate of csrss.exe. Alters registry and hides itself.

Serv-U FTP Server daemon. Dangerous only if you don't know how to configure it properly...

Idon't quit sure about that,but the Kaspersky said it's a backdoor virus,then cancel it.
  Moai  
hacked! This was installed on my system for others to use as a file server. I think it's dangerous if you didn't install it yourself. If it's on your machine and YOU didn't install... RUN!
  hacked!  
our server was hacked and this ftp server was installed and acting as a file server. Cost us over $800 in excess internet usage overnight before it was discovered. Antivirus and Spyware software did not discover it at all.

Serv U exe... Definitely not a virus...
  sheb  
It's part of the FTP server Serv-U. This is only a dangerous file if you did not install it.

At best, it's an old and unpatched version of our Serv-U FTP server. (So old that it's safe to say that the "daemon" DOES contain security flaws that CAN be exploited remotely.) At worst it's part of a rootkit or contains a trojan horse. Your Best Bet: get current on your Serv-U support contract and get the latest version (v.11 or better - after Serv-U was re-engineered in 2008 the "ServUDaemon.exe" filename became "Serv-U.exe" instead.).
