Author Information / Description
Capture Screen utilizes DCOM. DCOM or Distributed Component Object Model is a technology that allows applications to control other applications remotely.
Capture Screen utilizes DCOM in order to communicate to remote machines. Capture Screen consists of several files.
These files are:

CaptureScreen.exe	- The main application executable for connected to a remote machine.
ViewIt.exe			- The DCOM executable that must reside and be registered on the remote machine.

ViewIt_95.reg		- A Windows 95 RegEdit import file. This file will register the ViewIt.exe program with full access.
ViewIt_NT.reg		- A Windows NT RegEdit import file. This file will register the ViewIt.exe program with full access.
Capture.hlp			- The Capture Screen help file.
Capture.cnt			- The Capture Screen help contents file.
RegisterViewIt_95.bat 	- A sample batch file to install ViewIt Server on Windows 95. (If you don't want to use the install program.)

RegisterViewIt_NT.bat 	- A sample batch file to install ViewIt Server on Windows NT. (If you don't want to use the install program.)
License.txt			- Licensing information for Capture Screen
Readme.txt			- Last minute informational file.

Capture Screen works by using DCOM to communicate to the ViewIt.exe program. 
When Capture Screen needs to connect to a remote machine it calls (through DCOM) a remote machine and asks it to launch the ViewIt.exe program.
Once ViewIt.exe is launched it sends and retrieves the necessary information back to Capture Screen. 
Therfore, for Capture Screen to work properly you must register and install the ViewIt.exe program properly.

This archive is an almost-complete reconstruction of the legendary Mega Security (also known as Kobayashi), a premier 90s-era "Trojan Database" where malware authors once showcased their work. After a decade offline, the site was brought back in August 2024 by its original creator, MasterRat, who authorized the Malware Gallery to host this modernized, searchable version of the collection. While the original site remains available for those seeking a nostalgic, old-school experience, we are proud to continue its legacy here. Full credit and thanks go to MasterRat and the retired Mega Security staff for their years of dedicated work in cataloging these historical samples.
