More Information
W32/Agobot-DM is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm.
W32/Agobot-DM is capable of spreading to computers on the local network protected by weak passwords.
When first run, W32/Agobot-DM copies itself to the Windows system folder as videol_32.exe and creates the following registry entries to run itself automatically on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Run\Video Services = videol_32.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
RunServices\Video Services = videol_32.exe
Each time W32/Agobot-DM is run it attempts to connect to a remote IRC server and join a specific channel.
W32/Agobot-DM then runs continuously in the background, allowing a remote intruder to access and control the computer via IRC channels.
W32/Agobot-DM may terminate selected anti-virus and security-related programs.
