More Information
W32/Rbot-ATK is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-ATK spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WKS (MS03-049) (CAN-2003-0812), MSSQL (MS02-039) (CAN-2002-0649), PNP (MS05-039) and ASN.1 (MS04-007) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.
W32/Rbot-ATK 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-ATK copies itself to <System>\csrssv.exe and creates the file <Temp>\1.reg.
The following registry entries are created to run csrssv.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsoft DLL Verifier
csrssv.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Microsoft DLL Verifier
csrssv.exe
W32/Rbot-ATK sets the following registry entries, disabling the automatic startup of other software:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
Start
4
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess
Start

Registry entries are set as follows:
