More Information

Troj/Agent-II is a Trojan for the Windows platform.

Troj/Agent-II 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.

When first run Troj/Agent-II copies itself to <System>\l074.exe and creates the following files:

<System>\msdirectx.sys
\xz.bat

The file xz.bat is detected as Troj/KillProc-A and the file msdirectx.sys is detected as Troj/NtRootK-F.

The following registry entries are created to run l074.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
strtas
l074.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
strtas
l074.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
strtas
l074.exe

Troj/Agent-II uses a third party rootkit to provide itself with stealthing technology.

The following registry entries are set, affecting internet security:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile
