W32/Agobot-TW is a worm and backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Agobot-TW runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server
which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer.
W32/Agobot-TW spreads via common buffer overflow exploits, including LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), and PNP (MS05-039), as well as to weakly protected network shares.
