Worm_ircbot.hj

This worm may be dropped by other malware.It may be downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious Web sites.
It propagates through sending a message and a copy of itself to target contacts through Internet Relay Chat (IRC).
It opens a random port and joins a certain IRC channel. Once a connection is established, it then enables a remote user to execute commands on the affected system, compromising system security.
