W32/Rbot-CKP is a network worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-CKP spreads to remote network shares protected by weak passwords and to computers vulnerable to common exploits, including RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), PNP (MS05-039) and ASN.1 (MS04-007). W32/Rbot-CKP is a network worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-CKP spreads to remote network shares protected by weak passwords and to computers vulnerable to common exploits, including RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), PNP (MS05-039) and ASN.1 (MS04-007).
W32/Rbot-CKP 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-CKP copies itself to <Windows>\ntvbm.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run ntvbm.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Kernel Fault Check
ntvbm.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Kernel Fault Check
ntvbm.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Kernel Fault Check
ntvbm.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Kernel Fault Check
ntvbm.exe
W32/Rbot-CKP sets the following registry entries, disabling the automatic startup of other software:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
Start

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess
Start

Note: disabling autostart for the SharedAccess service deactivates the Microsoft Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
Registry entries are set as follows:
HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
