More Information
W32/Sdbot-ADD is a worm for the Windows platform.
W32/Sdbot-ADD 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-ADD copies itself to <System>\lockx.exe and creates the following files:
<CurrentFolder>\msdirectx.sys or <System>\msdirectx.sys
\xz.bat
The file msdirectx.sys is detected as Troj/NtRootK-F. The file xz.bat is harmless and can safely be deleted.
The following registry entries are created to run lockx.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
stratas
lockx.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
stratas
lockx.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
stratas
lockx.exe
