Mark.W0rm.exe virus 

Jan 21, 2010 06:00 AM

We're currently seeing a lot of Mark.W0rm.exe files appearing in our network. At the moment, the only available information is that it is a "test" virus that copies itself to common Windows folders.
Removal is quite simple:

End the task Mark.W0rm.exe in task manager if present and delete the file copied into the following directories:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\My Documents\My Music\My Music.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]r\My Documents\My Documents.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\My Documents\My Pictures\My Pictures.exe
C:\Windows\MarkWorm.exe

Note: It may also copy itself on shared folders so you might want to check for that too.

@sbertram: Hi, we cannot run non-Symantec products with me being a Symantec onsite engineer for a reseller. :D
I'm also having problems getting the cooperation of the other outsource team and employees to get a sample. I'm not putting them down or anything. It's just that deleting the file (to them) is easier and copying the said file to another location or storage would pose a serious risk to the company I'm servicing.

I've remediated the problem by adding the file to the Application and Device Control Policy and set it to block the process.

Hi did you run any free online scanners.  One you can run is from Trend Micro called House call, link is below.  See if that cleans up the mess.
Good luck.

Although it's not harmful at the moment. What's wierd is that this guy is boasting about it.

Isn't this type of activity a sort of cybercrime?

Thanks for the info Ramon...
Doesn't the virus re-replicate once deleted?
If not then case is solved...

Nice to hear from you again Bro...
