More Information
W32/Gobot-N is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Gobot-N spreads to other network computers.
W32/Gobot-N 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 W32/Gobot-N is installed it copies itself to the Windows folder with a random filename.
The following registry entry is created to run itself on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
VSSTAT
<Windows>\<random>.exe
