More Information
W32/Sdbot-CLJ is a network worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
The Trojan remains resident, listening for commands from remote users. If it receives the appropriate command the Trojan attempts to copy itself to remote network shares with weak passwords.
The worm copies itself to a file named gqgeqegl.exe in the Windows system folder and creates the following registry entries:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
gqgqqger = "gqgeqegl.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
gqgqqger = "gqgeqegl.exe"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
gqgqqger = "gqgeqegl.exe"
