Full Version: My system is infected by worms!

My friend had a email about some worms he had on his pc, i ran a scan on mine and i found these also:

Once it is running, W32.Dalbug.Worm inserts and executes these files:

* %windir%\smss.exe <-- got this one.
* %windir%\csrss.exe

When W32.Randex.R is executed, it performs the following actions:
Copies itself to one of the following locations:

%System%\service.exe <-- got this one.
%System%\svhost.exe
%System%\pointer32.exe

When Backdoor.Queen runs, it does the following:

1. Creates the automatic start service QoSserver
2. Attempts to create a remote thread in "LSASS.EXE" and inject itself into it.
3. Listens on port 8491 and waits for commands from the hacker.

I cant delete any of them!! Any help? (Info comes from Symantec)

Thanks

Uh. No.
If the system is already infected, it usually means he will have to remove it manually. Try removing the files from a Recovery Console (boot from XP cd) and replace the files.

No, because in windows, you cannot edit files while theyre running. In his case, these files are vital windows services, csrss? Yeah.

Ok, you've got an XP CD.... so ... I have 1 word......

FORMAT!

hehe....

no but seriously thats what I'd do... just back up all your stuff on CD and then format.

Should you have too much stuff to fit on 2 CDs, then just create a partition thats a couple of GBs and copy it to that partition. When you reinstall windows just be sure not to delete the partition you saved your stuff onto. I think partition magic 7 handles partitions really well.

Usually REMOVAL TOOLS helps a lot... Only if they PC is infected by worm - need some more action - like use of at least MS integrated firewall, turning off System restore and so on..., but removal tools are helpfull if you use them in proper way.
