The xdict.exe process is an EXE program file that has been reported by some users as a malicious program belonging to the Backdoor.Alfdoor.A application, which is a family of backdoor rootkits and Trojans, while other user reports claim that the xdict.exe process is associated with the Backdoor.Trojan program, which is another family of Trojans. As a backdoor rootkit, a few users reported that the xdict.exe process is capable of exploiting unsecure TCP/IP network ports of unprotected Windows-based systems, in order for the authors of this malicious program to gain access to the resources of the infected system through the xdict.exe process, and these system resources may include private user details, Internet surfing information, stored confidential data and other system components. As a Trojan, a few users state that the xdict.exe process is capable of using these exploited TCP/IP network ports to download more malicious programs unto the system from these predesignated remote servers of its authors, and these malicious programs may include spyware applications and worms among other malware items.
