More Information
W32/Domwis-F is a network worm which contains IRC backdoor Trojan functionality which allows a malicious user remote access to the infected computer.
W32/Domwis-F copies itself to the Windows folder with the filename MSDEVMGD32.EXE and creates the following entry in the registry so as to run itself on system startup, resetting this value periodically:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Microsoft Device Manager
W32/Domwis-F spreads via network security exploits as a result of the backdoor Trojan element receiving the appropriate command from a remote user.
W32/Domwis-F can be instructed by a remote user to perform a variety of other tasks including to steal system information and log keystrokes, to download and execute remote files, and to get information about running processes and to terminate them.
