More Information
W32/Agobot-UJ is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Agobot-UJ spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WKS (MS03-049) (CAN-2003-0812) and WebDav (MS03-007) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.
W32/Agobot-UJ 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-UJ copies itself to the %CurrentFolder%\ folder and to:
<System>\svchostt.exe
<System>\svchostt.exe.poly
<System>\winhlpp32.exe
