More Information
W32/Sdbot-AFC is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Sdbot-AFC spreads to other network computers infected with: Troj/Kuang, Troj/Sub7, Troj/NetDevil and W32/MyDoom.
W32/Sdbot-AFC 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-AFC copies itself to <System>\firewire.exe and creates the file <System>\keylog.txt.
The following registry entries are created to run firewire.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsoft Synchronization Manager
firewire.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsoft Synchronization Manager
firewire.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
