More Information

W32/Sdbot-ADJ is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.

W32/Sdbot-ADJ 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-ADJ copies itself to <System>\svhost.exe.

The following registry entries are created to run svhost.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Jufualt
svhost.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Jufualt
svhost.exe
