Hi all,

I have two viruses which i need to know some more information about, i can't find much though, i have read about the sdbot.AFN in the archives in this site.


SDBOT.AFN
and
Rbot.YZ

anyone got any links to sites where info on these viruses that nod has picked up?
Or has anyone had any experience with these viruses before.

cheers

SDBOT.AFN try:

Also known as: W32.Randex.gen (Symantec), Backdoor/SDBot, IRC/SdBot.AFN (Eset), Backdoor.SdBot.jg (Kaspersky), W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.h (McAfee)

Rbot.YZ look here here are the different variations

[arrowsmithmidwest]

thanks for the quick repsonse, the files infected are:

msconfg.exe - sdbot.afn

atiphexx.exe - rbot.yz

I would run a scan with Nod32 in Safe Mode, if you find there are problems with System Files affected, then after this you can place your Windows CD in the drive, click start > run, type in CMD, type in "sfc /scannow".

SFC (System File Checker, a part of Windows File Protection) will replace any changed/damaged system files with a clean copy. SFC may not solve every problem, but it's a good start that anyone can do...

Hope this helps...

Cheers

maybe this works for YZ as well?

Win32.Rbot.H

Method of infection

When first run, Rbot.H copies itself into the %System% directory as msconfg.exe.

It then adds entries to the following registry keys so that it is automatically run each time Windows starts:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Microsoft Update = "msconfg.exe"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Microsoft Update = "msconfg.exe"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\Microsoft Update = "msconfg.exe"
