More Information
W32/Rbot-FWP is a network worm and IRC backdoor for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-FWP spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities and by copying itself to network shares.
When first run W32/Rbot-FWP copies itself to <System>\0x32.exe and creates the file \a.bat.
The file a.bat is detected as Troj/Batten-A.
The worm creates the following registry entries in order to be run automatically on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Numerical Xterm Agent
0x32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Numerical Xterm Agent
0x32.exe
