More Information
W32/Rbot-AEX is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-AEX 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/Rbot-AEX copies itself to the Windows system folder as lsasss.exe and creates the file \debug.txt.
The following registry entries are created to run lsasss.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsofts Updates
"lsasss.exe"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsofts Updates
"lsasss.exe"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Microsofts Updates
"lsasss.exe"
