Type
Win32 worm

Description
W32/Agobot-DN is a network worm which attempts to spread to network shares with weak or no passwords. The worm has a copy of the PSEXEC program (a legitimate networking utility) embedded in it which it might use for this purpose.
W32/Agobot-DN drops a copy of itself to C:\<Windows System>\Drivers\lsass.exe.

W32/Agobot-DN will then drop a DLL component to C:\<Windows System>\wmiprvse.dll.
