From; Sophos Alert System:
Name: W32/Agobot-JB
Aliases: Gaobot, Nortonbot, Phatbot, Polybot.
Type: Win32 worm
Date: 24 May 2004
A virus identity (IDE) file which provides protection is
available now from the Sophos website, and will be incorporated
into the July 2004 (3.83) release of Sophos Anti-Virus.
Customers using Enterprise Manager, PureMessage and any of the
Sophos small business solutions 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/Agobot-JB can be found at:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32agobotjb.html
Description
W32/Agobot-JB is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm which establishes
an IRC channel to a remote server in order to grant an intruder access to
the compromised machine.
This worm will move itself into the Windows System32 folder under the
filename WINS32.EXE and may create the following registry entries so that it
can execute automatically on system restart:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Tsk Mng Hlp = wins32.exe
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Tsk Mng Hlp = wins32.exe
This worm will also create the following registry branches:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_TSKMNGHLP\
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TskMngHlp\
W32/Agobot-JB may also attempt to collect email addresses from the Windows
Address Book and send itself to these email addresses using its own SMTP
engine with itself included as an executable attachment.
W32/Agobot-JB may attempt to terminate anti-virus and other security-related
processes, in addition to other viruses, worms or Trojans.

W32/Agobot-JB may search for shared folders on the internet with weak
passwords and copy itself into them.
A text file named HOSTS in C:\<Windows System32>\drivers\etc\ may be created
or overwritten with a list of anti-virus and other security-related
websites, each bound to the IP loopback address of 127.0.0.1 which would
effectively
prevent access to these sites.
For example:
127.0.0.1 www.symantec.com
127.0.0.1 securityresponse.symantec.com
