W32/Gobot-T is a peer-to-peer worm and IRC backdoor Trojan. W32/Gobot-T attempts to infect other computers through network shares.
W32/Gobot-T creates a randomly named copy of itself in the Windows folder and updates the following registry entry with a randomly named value to run the worm when a user logs on to Windows:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
W32/Gobot-T creates multiple copies of itself in the shared folders of several popular peer-to-peer applications and may overwrite existing files in those folders.
W32/Gobot-T attempts to connect to a remote IRC server and join a specific channel. W32/Gobot-T then runs continuously in the background, allowing a remote intruder to access and control the computer via IRC channels.
W32/Gobot-T scans the internet for machines listening on port 3127, the backdoor port opened by W32/MyDoom-A.
