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