More Information
Troj/Spybot-BZ is an IRC backdoor Trojan which runs in the background as a
service process and allows unauthorised remote access to the computer over a
network.
The Trojan copies itself to the Windows system folder as system32.exe or as a
random filename. The Trojan also adds the following registry keys to ensure it
starts on logon:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce\
System Terminal = SYSTEM2.EXE
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
System Terminal = SYSTEM2.EXE
Troj/Spybot-BZ then logs on to predefined IRC servers and waits for backdoor
commands. The Trojan also terminates the following processes:
REGEDIT.EXE
MSCONFIG.EXE
TASKMGR.EXE
NETSTAT.EXE.
