W32/Rbot-AII is a network worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-AII 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.
W32/Rbot-AII can spread to remote network shares protected by weak passwords.
When first run W32/Rbot-AII copies itself to <System>\MS-DOS.PIF.
