More Information
Troj/Sdbot-M is a backdoor Trojan which allows a remote user unauthorised access and control over the machine via IRC channels.
When run Troj/Sdbot-M drops itself as C:\Windows\system\svhost.exe and adds the registry entry 'inet' with value 'svhost.exe' to
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Troj/Sdbot-M runs in the background as a service process and attempts to connect to an IRC server and join a specific channel. Troj/Sdbot-M then listens on the IRC channel for specific commands and carries out the appropriate actions.
