Antispyware Soft

Image

since everybody else is posting this stuff.

Thsi malware is very similar to nop's on page 1.
it will only load if an internet connection is present.


this is not the hardest one to get rid of as it does not infect the .exe portion of the registry.

but every time you load any executable .com, .exe , scr it will tell you it's infected.

here are my notes from many months ago dealing in removing this stuff when it was everywhere.
Code: Select all
made user go to c:\windows\system32

taskmgr.exe was not found
taskkill.exe was not found
tasklist.exe was not found
user was displaying hidden files and protected operating system files

we did a start then run:

made user type in:
cmd /k copy c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe c:\explorer.exe
Error came up and it appeared to block the command but explorer.exe was copied to c:\
made user try to run taskmgr.exe as c:\explorer.exe it was blocked by malware.
I then made user try
to run the command
cmd /k copy c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe c:\iexplore.exe
malware appeared to block but file was displayed.
then were able to pull up taskmgr as c:\iexplore.exe
we killed many processes that were not needed or seemed to be malicious

after taking control of machine i found out the only processes that needed to be killed was xkiffaei.exe located in %userprofile%\local settings\temp

we then tried to go to google but failed.

we then unchecked a proxy server that was pointing to 127.0.0.1:5555

obviously some malware acting as a redirection proxy.

After unchecking proxy connection

was able to goto google.com and ultimately gotoassist.com
and took control of machine

ran runscanner it seemed to be only that 1 process.
took it out of autostart and deleted the underlying file.


as a note rundll32.exe was running so a possible rouge dll.

No rootkit was detected
via the newest version of gmer renamed a random filename.

restarted machine
then ran hitmanpro and it found 0 infections.

Seems to be the same as http://forum.sysinternals.com/fake-av-s ... 22033.html (also known as Live PC Guard and million of different names)

You uploaded just a downloader :D
Payload is cool. Written on Delphi (or whatever from CodeGear, yet another russian script-kiddie work).

Aggressive behavior makes some trouble with removal.
This fake av modifies registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefileile type handler keys, making system unworkable after malware removal from Safe Mode.
However applying exported registry data from different computer or backup solving problem.
Both - downloader and fakeav itself are attached.
