Three major antivirus companies describe the actions of the new Dopbot worm in a quite different way.
Symantec (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.dopbot.html) says that it sets:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\EnableDCOM=Y
Sophos (http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32dopbota.html) says that it sets:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous=2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\EnableDCOM=N
Trend Micro (http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM%5FDOPBOT%2EA&VSect=T) says that it sets:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\restrictanonymous=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\EnableDCOM=N
Quite a big difference! Symantec's version decreases security, Sophos's increases. It doesn't seem to be a typo, as this fact is clearly stated on both sites. Regarding the naming: Sophos W32/Dopbot-A = Symantec w32.dopbot.
I am interested which site is correct. Or did they found three completely different samples at exactly the same time? :P
