W32/Rbot-PM is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm.
W32/Rbot-PM may spread to remote network shares protected by weak passwords and computers vulonerable to common exploits. The worm also opens up a backdoor, allowing unauthorised remote access to infected computers via the IRC network, while running in the background as a service process.
W32/Rbot-PM copies itself to the Windows system folder and creates the following registry entries to run automatically on log-on:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Quicktime Mediaplayer = "winmplyer32.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Quicktime Mediaplayer = "winmplyer32.exe"
W32/Rbot-PM may also attempt to set the following registry entry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OLE\
Quicktime Mediaplayer = "winmplyer32.exe"
W32/Rbot-PM can receive commands from a remote intruder to delete network shares, log keypresses, participate in DDoS attacks, scan other computers for vulnerabilities, steal passwords, steal registration keys for computer games, create local administrator
accounts and capture video from webcameras attached to the computer.
