Gaobot.ee, also known as the W32.HLLW.Gaobot.EE, is a malicious worm that tends to come from the P2P network Ares, installing from its virus form, Ares.exe, which has odd characteristics for a virus, having the seemingly P2P virus unique ability to download and install random files (perhaps to create more sharers) from its members, such as music, pornography, and even full games. Gaobot.ee itself uses the computer to send spam emails using its own SMTP system, alerts attackers through a TCP port IRC channel, and shuts down various system security programs.
