Sonar.IRCBOT.Ng is a malicious program and Trojan displaying typical mischief on poorly protected systems running Microsoft Windows and having little or no Internet security. Sonar.IRCBOT.Ng uses common distribution vectors to gain deceptive entry, including masks to present its program as a helpful tool. Often malware is concealed inside the download of shareware or freeware or cloaked behind an infectious link or attachment in spoofed email communication.
Depending on the malware maker will determine the type and amount of threats that will be waged by Sonar.IRCBOT.Ng. At a minimum, data will be stolen out of the browser cache and off the hard drive. A port will be opened to intercept the download of other malicious programs, such as a backdoor to give a hacker remote access that allows him to use the infected system's resources to launch a DNS strike. A keylogger may also be installed to capture keystrokes being entered into web-based forms of a financial nature.
Sonar.IRCBOT.Ng is fortified by a rootkit and will aggressively resist standard removal attempts. For example, administrative controls may fail to work, or the browser may block visits to helpful malware removal sites. Rootkits also help masks and bury infected files so they come into sight the same as legitimate operating system files and components. Removing the wrong files could corrupt your hard drive, which why it is best to use a professional anti-malware solution equipped with an anti-rootkit component.
