More Information
W32/Rbot-AJD is a worm for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-AJD spreads by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.
When first run W32/Rbot-AJD copies itself to <System>\explorer16.exe and creates
the file <System>\Limpet.bat which is detected as Troj/BotRun-B.
W32/Rbot-AJD uses Troj/BotRun-B to make additional copies of itself and
Troj/BotRun-B in the following locations:
<system>\Drivers\Limpy.sys
<system>\Drivers\Limpmeister.exe
<system>\Drivers\Casey-17.pif
<system>\Drivers\battlenet-keygen(works-online).com
<system>\Casey-17.pif
<system>\battlenet-keygen(works-online).com
<system>\explorer16.exe
