Here is what I had on this...

Internet Relay Chat: Server Protocol

*        At least the trojan WinSatan uses TCP port 6667 by default,
possibly also the trojan ScheduleAgent. And not to forget some other 60
IRC trojans of various kinds. Many of uses IRC to broadcast passwords or
logs captured by keyloggers, but there are also RATs and others as well.

lTec_Internet_Phone/default.htm VocalTec Internet Phone, an alternate
port other than 6670 used to connect to Vocaltec servers.  Also, IRC
clients can connect to IRC servers on this port.

Subject: Trojan program


Does anyone have information on a IRC Trojan with the
following characteristics.

Opens IRC channels on 6667 and connects to some IRC
channel on 6668.

It sets a registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Default
web browser  =  "c:\winnt\system32\iexplore.exe"

And changes the shell

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Shell
changes it from "Explorer.exe" to "Explorer.exe
iexplore.exe"

I found a 9 KB file named iexplore.exe in
c:\winnt\system32 and also found the iexplore.exe
process running.

Norton Antivirus did not catch the Trojan

Here is some of the network traffic

I know that I will need to rebuild the machine, but
does anyone have experience with this one?  I looked
at the Run key a number of times before I realized the
Default Web Browser key doesn't fit in.
