    Hi
    yesterday i downloaded a program "capture one " from a mirror
    it's a 50mb of program
    i click on the install , and after some time the setup told me "it's for 64 and not for 32bit"

    well this makes me suspicious
    i run threatfire and re-install the program
    threatfire detect & block the files , i send this files to virus total and they are a exe and video.dll and audio.dll they are the ntos trojan


    well i have the last version of nod32 2.7 last built


    why it doesn't catch them??

    thanks

    ps can nod32 run on safemode or does it have a command line to clean the files on the boot ,like avast?

    It depends on two things. a) you might have a new varient that's not detected yet and b) your settings might not allow detection (although i doubt it)

    Hi, submit that files in password protected archive (password will be "infected") to samples[at]eset[dot]sk for analysis.

    You can delete these files by Avenger. Run exe file and write this:

    Code:
    Files to delete:
    full paths of files in succesive lines
    * If files are located in the same folder, use "Folders to delete:"

    Click on "Execute", OK, computer will be restarted.

    I don't recommend use Avenger and similar utilities for beginners! Better is using Avenger after application some utility, UPM eg.

    You can use MoveOnBoot, too.

    Hi thanatos, today's malware start be better and better. My testing says that some samples can hide before HijackThis (and it wasn't rootkit). ;)

    Why, it is support forum.

    Last, when I cleaned infected pc with this sample, it was written in few Registry values. But you can't delete whole value, you can only repair it. ;)

    Software sure, yes MoveOnBoot can be alternative.

    Renaming hjt helps.

    Maybe it's a new variant of NTOS. Go to the following links to know more about the trojan.

    You can try this removal tool by Prevx.

    Maybe the execution of NTOS was blocked by ThreatFire. However, I still insist you go to a malware removal forum.

    The trojan will encrypt your files, drives once it is executed. However, maybe ThreatFire blocked ntos.exe from running. Just to be sure your infected or not, post an hjt log at a malware removal forum. Choose one forum from here.

    Mantra,

    As always, understand in detail what is in front of you prior to performing any task. In part, that is why thanatos_theos has been insistent that you visit one of the malware removal forums presented in the list provided - once again, it is here.

    With respect to the specific malware that you appear to have been subject to, visit the links provided above. They are:
    • unRansom..Me! Prevx blog entry by Jacques Erasmus. This blog entry also has a technical analysis provided by Marco Giuliani (the pdf file containing that analysis is here - note this is a direct download link), read that as well since it provides some details which should allow you to assess whether you've been infected. As a caution, I do not know whether this information is dated, hence the guidance to consult with those involved in active malware removal. Their knowledge on this topic should be current.
    • Direct download link to the Prevx provided unransomme.exe. However, read and understand the blog entry before using this tool
    The last thing is to set in motion a chain of events to address a situation that is incompletely characterized.

    Mantra,

    No problem. If something is not clear, just ask, although I do understand that if language itself is the issue - and that occurs in any diverse forum frequently - sometimes the need to ask is not obvious, which is why a bit of patience is also recommended for all.

    Also, my comments are not just for you, but for the reader at large. We've all run into situations (at times by our own hands) for which the cure was clearly worse than the problem that we were trying to address. We all need to be on guard against this particular issue, and it often is due to having incomplete understanding of the situation.

    The first bytes of the encrypted files contain the string "GLAMOUR" followed by the encrypted data. The trojan then creates a read_me.txt file and drops it on all folders containing encrypted files.

    More info here.
