At the time of writing, Sophos has received just one report of this worm from the wild. Information about W32/Sdbot-IH can be found at: http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32sdbotih.html Description W32/Sdbot-IH is a network worm and backdoor Trojan. The worm spreads by copying itself to network shares that have weak passwords. The worm creates a copy of itself named bot.exe in the Windows system folder and adds the following registry entries to ensure that the copy is run each time Windows starts: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ Microsoft Synchronization Manager = bot.exe HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ Microsoft Synchronization Manager = bot.exe HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\ Microsoft Synchronization Manager = bot.exe W32/Sdbot-IH maintains a log of the user's keystrokes in a file named keylog.txt in the Windows system folder. The backdoor component of the worm attempts to connect to an IRC server and awaits commands from a remote attacker.
