More Information
W32/Rbot-BMO is a worm and IRC backdoor for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-BMO 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-BMO 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-BMO copies itself to <System>\playboy1.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run <System>\playboy1.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Sy21dsgate Personal Firewall
playboy1.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Sy21dsgate Personal Firewall
playboy1.exe
W32/Rbot-BMO also attempts to set the following registry entries:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole
EnableDCOM

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
