W32/Agobot-AS is an IRC backdoor Trojan and network worm.
W32/Agobot-AS copies itself to network shares with weak passwords and attempts to spread to computers using the DCOM RPC and the RPC locator vulnerabilities.

These vulnerabilities allow the worm to execute its code on target computers with System level privileges. For further information on these vulnerabilities and for details on how to patch the computer against such attacks please see Microsoft security bulletins MS03-026 and MS03-001.
