More Information
W32/Rbot-RD is a worm which attempts to spread to remote network shares. It also contains backdoor Trojan functionality, allowing unauthorised remote access to the infected computer via IRC channels while running in the background as a service process.
W32/Rbot-RD spreads to network shares with weak passwords as a result of the backdoor Trojan element receiving the appropriate command from a remote user.
W32/Rbot-RD copies itself to the Windows system folder as WILOGON32.EXE and may create entries in the registry at the following locations to run itself on system startup:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Microsof Winlog Host
wilogon32.exe
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Microsof Winlog Host
wilogon32.exe
W32/Rbot-RD may also create the registry entry
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OLE\
Microsof Winlog Host
wilogon32.exe
