Description of AztecMarketing.Syscpy :
AztecMarketing.Syscpy is a spam relayer and adware that is able to dodge firewalls, and creates an entry in the registry to allow it to run each time you start your computer. It notes your IP address and checks it with a database of blacklisted addresses by connecting to spamcop.net or www.abuse.net. If it is found in that list, it will exit. If not, then it proceeds with acting as an SMTP server to send out more spam on all the e-mail addresses on your computer address book.
