More Information
W32/Sdbot-JX is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm.
W32/Sdbot-JX is capable of spreading to computers on the local network protected by weak passwords.
When first run W32/Sdbot-JX copies itself to the Windows system folder as peere32.exe and creates the following registry entries so that peere32.exe is run automatically on startup:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Peer Manager = peere32.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Peer Manager = peere32.exe
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\Peer Manager = peere32.exe
The harmless file pene.g is created in the Windows system folder.
