More Information

Troj/Sdbot-Fam is a family of backdoor Trojans which allow a remote intruder to access and control the computer via IRC channels.

When run, the Trojan tries to connect to an IRC server and join a specific channel.

The Trojan then runs continuously in the background as a server process, listening on the IRC channel for specific commands and carrying out the appropriate actions.

When first run, the Trojan may copy itself to the Windows or Windows System folder and create an entry in the registry to run itself on start-up.
