W32/Rbot-BJZ is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.

W32/Rbot-BJZ can spread in the following ways:
- via network shares with weak passwords
- to other network computers infected with W32/MyDoom or W32/Bagle
- by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WKS (MS03-049) (CAN-2003-0812), WebDav (MS03-007), Veritas (CAN-2004-1172) and ASN.1 (MS04-007).

W32/Rbot-BJZ runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels.

W32/Rbot-BJZ attempts to disable various security related applications.
