More Information
W32/Sdbot-ABL is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Sdbot-ABL 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/Sdbot-ABL copies itself to <System>\icq2002.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run icq2002.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
