More Information
W32/Rbot-MB is a network worm and backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-MB allows a malicious user remote access to an infected computer.
In order to run automatically when Windows starts up W32/Rbot-MB creates the following registry entries:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Sygate Personal Firewall Start = services32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Sygate Personal Firewall Start = services32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Sygate Personal Firewall Start = services32.exe
W32/Rbot-MB spreads using a variety of techniques including exploiting weak passwords on computers and SQL servers, exploiting operating system vulnerabilites (including DCOM-RPC, LSASS, WebDAV and UPNP) and using backdoors opened by other worms or Trojans.
W32/Rbot-MB can be controlled by a remote attacker over IRC channels.
Patches for the operating system vulnerabilities exploited by W32/Rbot-MB can be obtained from Microsoft at:
