W32/Agobot-PR is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm.

W32/Agobot-PR spreads using a variety of techniques including exploiting weak passwords on computers and SQL servers, 
exploiting operating system vulnerabilities (including DCOM-RPC, LSASS, WebDAV and UPNP) and using backdoors opened by 
other worms or Trojans.

When first run W32/Agobot-PR copies itself to the Windows system folder as SRV325.EXE and creates the following 
registry entries to run itself on startup:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Srv325
Srv325.exe

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Srv325
Srv325.exe

Each time W32/Agobot-PR is run it attempts to connect to a remote IRC server and join a specific channel.

W32/Agobot-PR then runs continuously in the background, allowing a remote intruder to access and control the computer 
via IRC channels.

The Trojan attempts to terminate and disable various anti-virus and security-related programs and modifies the HOSTS 
file located at %WINDOWS%\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS, mapping selected anti-virus websites to the loopback address 
127.0.0.1 in an attempt to prevent access to these sites. Typically the following mappings will be appended to the 
HOSTS file:

127.0.0.1 www.symantec.com
127.0.0.1 securityresponse.symantec.com
127.0.0.1 symantec.com
