More Information

W32/Sdbot-DKL is a worm with IRC backdoor functionality for the Windows platform.

W32/Sdbot-DKL runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels.

When first run, W32/Sdbot-DKL copies itself to the System folder with a random name and creates the file <Windows>\wpcjmd.log. wpcjmd.log is harmless and can be deleted.
