Backdoor.Win32.Kraimer.11 / Missing Authentication - Kraimer listens for commands on TCP port 6668, due to a lack of authentication anyone can telnet to the infected host. Seems only one established connection at a time is allowed, so if you telnet in then no other connections are honored. Therefore, if you make TCP connection and theres already an established connection you will get refused.
