Advanced
W32/Sdbot-SW is a worm which attempts to spread to remote network shares. 
It also contains backdoor Trojan functionality, allowing unauthorised 
remote access to the infected computer via IRC channels while running in 
the background as a service process.

W32/Sdbot-SW drops two files to the folder C:\WinNT\system32. One is 
dropped as HB90HGF3.EXE and is detected as W32/Sdbot-SW, the other is 
dropped as SYSEDITS.EXE and is a corrupt file that will not run.

The file dropped as HB90HGF3.EXE copies itself to APPNV.EXE in the 
Windows system folder and creates entries in the registry at the 
following locations to run this copy on system startup:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

W32/Sdbot-SW spreads to network shares with weak passwords and via 
network security exploits as a result of the backdoor Trojan element 
receiving the appropriate command from a remote user, spreading by 
copying the file NVAPPSW.EXE from the Windows system folder (which 
should be the original W32/Sdbot-SW dropper file) to the remote machine.
