More Information
W32/Spybot-DT is an internet worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Spybot-DT spreads by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords. The worm also attempts to copy itself to the startup folder of attached network drives.
W32/Spybot-DT 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.
W32/Spybot-DT includes functionality to steal confidential information and open a remote command shell.
When first run W32/Spybot-DT moves itself to <System>\BF3.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run BF3.EXE on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
System Config
BF3.EXE
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
System Config
BF3.EXE
