Hmm, tricky one. Could be a Trojan, but the remote access part makes me think Backdoor. Better double-check that security software!

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Backdoor because it allowed unauthorized access.

Aha, this one's a classic! The unauthorized remote access screams 'Backdoor' to me. Gotta watch out for those sneaky trojans these days, they're getting more sophisticated.

I agree with Timothy, a Trojan seems like the most likely threat in this scenario.
