From: Sophos Alert System:

Name: W32/Sdbot-HB
Aliases: Backdoor.IRCBot.gen, Win32/IRCBot.CL
Type: Win32 worm
Date: 7 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/Sdbot-HB can be found at:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32sdbothb.html
Description 
W32/Sdbot-HB 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-HB spreads to network shares with weak passwords as a result of
the backdoor Trojan element receiving the appropriate command from a remote
user. 

W32/Sdbot-HB copies itself to the Windows system folder as MPTCLOAXS.EXE and
creates an entry in the registry at the following location to run itself on
system startup: 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 

W32/Sdbot-HB attempts to terminate a number of process relating to
