More Information
W32/Agobot-TL is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Agobot-TL spreads:
- to other network computers infected with W32/Sasser
- to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including RPC-DCOM (MS04-012)
- by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords
W32/Agobot-TL 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 W32/Agobot-TL copies itself to <System>\wordpad.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run wordpad.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Wind0ws
wordpad.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Wind0ws
wordpad.exe
