i had the same problem. the virus is recieved through your contacts who also have the virus. once you get it, it automatically displays it to all your other contacts as if its a funny file or image.

what you'l have to do to get rid of it, is boot up windows in SAFE MODE (its one of the F keys at the top of the keyboard) and then run your virus scanners. If this doesnt help, try to get hold of a spyware remover (spybot search and destroy or windows spyware remover are good ) but if you cant download i dont know what else to suggest.

Hope this helps

Without having much to go on, i'd say you have the same trojan as in THIS (http://www.cbttechs.com/forums/index.php?) thread.

Go to the second page and follow the instructions given by sccsux. That should work ;). If it doesn't work, post back and we'll look in to it further :thumbsup:

Whooaaa there grimdeath909 ;)

I said to follow the instructions given by sccsux ;). You need to go to his site and install the removal tool, then run it.
If that doesn't work we'll look in to a HJT log :thumbsup:

[EDIT] I just had a quick look at your log and the removal tool WILL work ;)

grimdeath909
16-03-2005, 18:37
right i hav down loaded the remouval tool and it has scaned my computer it seys i havnt got serflog but what could be messing up my pc?

vidster
16-03-2005, 18:50
OK....Try running the removal tool and Norton in safe mode.
Tap f8 repeatedly while restarting your computer. When the boot menu pop up, select safe mode. :)

It's strange that the tool didn't pick it up though :?


To have your HJT log checked, you will be better joining the forum in my sig. Then post your log in the relevant forum :).
Your log will be analysed much better there.

If not, there may be someone on here that will analyse your log. Just be careful what you remove!.

Vidster,

Do you know how this trojan is transmitted?

vidster
16-03-2005, 20:28
If you can't download anything, you may be better joining the CbtTechs forum and posting your HJT log there ;).

You will more than likely loose all your extra toolbars (did you intend to have so many?), so make it clear if there are any you definitely don't want to loose.

Shout up if there is anything else you need to know :).

Well it looks like the one Fetish Fairy had, but i haven't had a proper look at the log yet.
The one FF had is transmitted through msn messenger (which i don't use anyway ;) ) but it is advisable to email all the people who use msn and get them to install the removal tool.

If grimdeath909 comes over and does need a removal tool, i'll post back in this thread the instructions on how to remove it anyway :).

16-03-2005, 20:49
thanks, vid.

Does this mean by recieving a file or picture on Messenger from someone? Not just by chatting?

Edit: I just did a quick google and there are a variety of worms spread mainly via pictures.

vidster
16-03-2005, 20:54
I wouldn't have a clue at the moment cgksheff, although i would have thought it would have to be an attachment of some kind :?.



I just had a thought for anyone else 'in the know'......Wouldn't Spybot S&D's Tea-Timer detect any of this worm/Trojans actions and try to alert you to registry changes ?

No it won't;)

The reason....?

I think this is a newer version of the same worm/virus (look @ the ammendments to the hosts file.... this one redirects to the BBC website IP addr).




I'm a little busy @ the moment so a quick and nasty temporary fix (which may, or may not, work).....


Edit your hosts file and delete the following entries:

and then Save the file (but do not close it - this keeps it in use, so no other program can modify it).

Now close all instances of IE.

Then try an update of your AV and perform a full scan (using both your current scanner & one of the online scans - which you should now be able to reach)!



If this doesn't work, try the above again, in Safe Mode.

It would certainly prevent any "important" changes to the reg (we have it running on all our Windows PCs that have a net facing IP.

Just as a hint: if you can still get online, it's sometimes worth running Trend Micro's online virus scanner as an alternative/addition to your normal antivirus software: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/en/start_corp.asp

Also, I had to clean up somebody's machine recently that was infected with over 150 viruses and trojans; it was running so sluggishly that I couldn't get anything at all to work on it. In the end, I discovered that by un-installing his anti-virus software (which seemed to be worse than useless anyway: it was an old version of F-Prot) suddenly everything worked much better and I could get enough done to be able to clean up what was on the machine. This is a potentially dangerous strategy but, hey, it worked for me!

Trend is one of the domains being blocked by the ammended hosts file.

Presumably you can still open up the hosts file in notepad and remove the entry for Trend? Or does it lock the file?

Looks like someone got clever with this one then...

So far I'd agree with everything everyone's said... hadn't thought of keeping the hosts file open tbh... so thanks for that tip...

Edit your hosts file and delete the following entries:

i have been messing about with every online and downloadable virus detecter i can find it seems to b working.

wat i noticed is sumtimes i can catch the virus by pressing
ctrl + alt + delete as soon as i log on i hav managed this twice.
the first time i updated my virus remover (norton) and then it told mr to restart but wen it logged bak on the updates were gone and the virus was still there. im now trying a scan without restarting ill tell u my results
cya all l8r

While you are able to access the security sites, i would run Panda Active Scan (http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm) and do a search on the worm. Hopefully you will find a security site at the top of the search page with a removal tool. Download it and reboot. If the worm pops up again you should be able to run the removal tool.
Infact i'd run the removal tool in safe mode anyway, just to make sure ;).

I know I might be pointing out the obvious here but you have turned system restore off haven't you? Only if you haven't the worm may come back if it's in there.

I know it did with the one that Fetish Fairy had but they do differ and grimdeath hadn't said either way! Just a thought anyway. Hope you got sorted on this grimdeath.
