More Information
W32/Rbot-AQD is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-AQD spreads to other network computers infected with: W32/MyDoom and W32/Bagle and to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012) and WebDav (MS03-007).
W32/Rbot-AQD 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/Rbot-AQD copies itself to <System>\Syga.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run Syga.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Sygate Personal Firewall
Syga.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Sygate Personal Firewall
Syga.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Sygate Personal Firewall
Syga.exe
Registry entries are set as follows:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole
