small business solutions will be automatically protected at

Information about W32/Sdbot-VW can be found at:

W32/Sdbot-VW is a network worm from the Sdbot family which attempts to spread
to remote network shares protected by weak passwords and computers vulnerable
to common exploits. W32/Sdbot-VW also contains backdoor functionality, allowing
unauthorised remote access to the infected computer via IRC channels while
running in the background as a service process.
A remote attacker can use the backdoor to send commands to the Trojan. These
commands include instructions to delete network shares, steal registration keys
for computer games, redirect internet traffic, participate in DDoS attacks,
scan other computers and spread to network shares.
W32/Sdbot-VW copies itself to the Windows system folder and creates the
following registry entries to run itself automatically on log-on:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Microsoft Windows GUI
msmonk32.exe
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Microsoft Windows GUI
msmonk32.exe
