Ok, so it performs DLL injection.  Does the user
account being used on the system have the privilege to
debug programs?

I'll provide some input on this.  First, run several
tools to get information from the
system...pslist/tlist/handle/listdlls to get process
information, openports to get process-to-port mapping
info (use both '-netstat' and '-fport' switches). 
Check the usual Registry entries where this stuff
likes to hide...map unusual entries there to DLLs
injected into processes, if this is what's happening...
