W32/Rbot-SX is a Windows network worm that attempts to spread via network shares. The worm contains backdoor functions that allow unauthorized remote access to the infected computer via IRC channels while running in the background.

The worm spreads to network shares with weak passwords and also by using the LSASS security exploit (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM security exploit (MS03-039) and the WebDav security exploit (MS03-007).

The worm may also try to exploit backdoors and vulnerabilities used by the MyDoom family of worms.
