From; Sophos Alert System:

Name: W32/Nackbot-D
Aliases: Backdoor.Agobot.jy, W32.Randex.gen
Type: Win32 worm
Date: 5 April 2004

A virus identity (IDE) file which provides protection is
available now from the Sophos website, and will be incorporated
into the May 2004 (3.81) release of Sophos Anti-Virus.

Enterprise Manager and PureMessage customers will be
automatically protected at their next scheduled update.

At the time of writing, Sophos has received just one report of
this worm from the wild.


Information about W32/Nackbot-D can be found at:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32nackbotd.html
Description 
W32/Nackbot-D is a peer-to-peer (P2P) worm which spreads via shared folders
and has IRC backdoor functionality. 
When run the worm copies itself to the Windows System (or System32) folder
as the file MSCLOCK.EXE. To ensure that the worm is run each time Windows is
started W32/Nackbot-D creates the registry entries: 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Microsoft Digital Clock = msclock.exe 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Microsoft Digital Clock = msclock.exe 

W32/Nackbot-D attempts to spread to randomly chosen IP addresses. The worm
attempts to access the C$, D$, E$ and Admin$ shares of the target computer
using a list of passwords contained within the worm. The worm then copies
itself to the Windows System (or System32) folder on the target computer as
MSCLOCK.EXE. 

W32/Nackbot-D contains backdoor components which can be controlled by a
remote attacker via IRC. The backdoor functions include the ability to
launch a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS).
