  • 1.  virus creates a .EXE file for each folder name

    Posted Jun 15, 2010 10:32 AM

    Hi everyone!

    The virus creates a .EXE file for each folder name inside the root directory. For example: it creates a "Windows.EXE", "Documents and Settings.EXE", "Program Files.EXE", and all other folder names in the root directory are created for a file with an extention ".EXE". It also creates a "Recycle.EXE" - i think this is the source virus. "Recycle.EXE" has an attribute of "SHR".

    I manually deleted these ".EXE" files but it keeps on coming back after a while!
    My environment includes: 1500 Desktop PC's. 1 SEP RU5 Server. Latest definition offcourse.

    Scanning this EXE files showing no virus result.

    Thank you folks for your help.

    Hi NirH,

    If you have a threat on your system that Symantec Endpoint Protection is not detecting, the most likely reason is that Symantec does not yet have a definition for your particular threat.

    You should submit the suspicious file's .exe files to Symantec for analysis by our Security Response team. If we confirm that the file is indeed malicious, we will create virus definitions for the threat so that we can catch it in the future.

    If you do not know how to submit files to our Security Response team for analysis, please contact our support team. They can provide you with the necessary information.

    Regards,
    James

    Hi NirH,

    In addition to the folder .exe's, please look for and submit this file to Security Response:

    RECYCLER\wmimgmt.exe

    Chances are, there are additional suspicious files in other load points.  The SEP Support Tool can help to identify them automatically.

    Thanks and best regards,

    Mick

    follow this document and then submit the files to the security response team.
    use the load point tool

    1. Start with downloading the Rapid Release definitions.
    http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/definitions/download/detail.jsp?gid=rr

    2. Boot into safe mode and running a Disk Cleanup (right-click the C drive, Properties, Disk Cleanup) - that will delete all the files that are in these temporary locations, as well as IE's temporary files, etc. Perform a full system scan in safe mode.

    3. If that fails to remove the threat, try running the Norton Power Eraser - Because the Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect these threats, there is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal. You should use this tool very carefully, and only after you have exhausted other options.

    Does anybody have an idea how to decrypt the parts of the autorun.inf file shown above, the one starting with '25846ki756as'?
    I'm trying to learn how this stuff works in inf and bat files. Thanks.
