More Information
W32/Rbot-AVQ is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-AVQ 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.
W32/Rbot-AVQ will spread through network shares protected by weak passwords and by taking advantage of the following exploits:
RPC-DCOM (MS04-012)
PNP (MS05-039)
ASN.1 (MS04-007)
When first run W32/Rbot-AVQ copies itself to <System>\bhsv.exe.
