More Information
W32/Rbot-PN is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm.
W32/Rbot-PN may spread to remote network shares and computers vulnerable to common exploits. The worm also opens up a backdoor, allowing unauthorised remote access to infected computers via the IRC network, while running in the background as a service process.
W32/Rbot-PN copies itself to the Windows system folder and creates the following registry entries to run automatically on log-on:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Sygate Personal Firewall = "Sygate.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Sygate Personal Firewall= "Sygate.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Sygate Personal Firewall = "Sygate.exe"
W32/Rbot-PN also attempts to set the following registry entries:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\
EnableDCOM = "N"
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Lsa\
restrictanonymous = 1
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
restrictanonymous = 1
W32/Rbot-PN can receive commands from a remote intruder to delete network shares, log keypresses, participate in DDoS attacks, scan other computers for vulnerabilities, steal passwords, steal registration keys for computer games, create local administrator
accounts and capture video from webcameras attached to the computer.
