Great ... this posting worked ... murphy is playing tricks on me ... rofl ... and now i am repling to myself ... tis a sad sad day

 

i really do have a trojan.

IRC/Backdoor.Flood and IRC-Worm/Momma and i cant seem to sort it out ... I ran AVG and it "healed" two of the components but I have 4 left. All I know is it is a denial of service attacker (using me as the attacker) and I ran Agnitum's Tauscan but it did not see it. I need some input as to how to get rid of it. Please

HI,

here is some more information about my problem...

Norton AV caught the trojan, but could not repair or quaretine it. The file location did not exist when I did a search for it. So I ran AVG. It was able to 'heal' 2 out of the 6 files it found.

I ran a search for those files but couldn't find them ... SO ....
I did a google search and came up empty handed.

I ran Agnitums Tauscan it didn't even see the trojan!

I can't run anti trojan 5.5 ... I used up my free trial time from the last trojan I had (backdoor.dll) No need to tell me I know I am not doing something right ... LOL

My question is how do I delete those files?

Also ... I never use mIRC but I have trillian ... is there some way to exploit trillian that I am not aware of?

Any help would be appreciated,

Beeza

 

Hi,

Here are the answers to your questions.

I ran AVG twice. The first time it found six files. The second time it found four ... still infected. I ran AVG this morning with LAN off and modem unplugged. Still have four infected files.

In Task Manager I did find something suspicious .... Wexplorer.exe. I have never seen this before (the last time I had a trojan, it ran as wool.exe, thought you would be curious as to how I knew Wexplorer.exe was not supposed to be there ... cause I did a search on all processes and what they were for).

I run Windows 2000 Pro as my OS with NTFS instead of fat32.

I have the file names:

C:\WINNT\TEMP\LCUDK.EXE:\set.exe

C:\WINNT\TEMP\LCUDK.EXE:\wexplorer.exe

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\CONTENT.IE5\8LG0QJCS\games3(1).exe:\wexplorer.exe

C:\Documents and Stteings\ Default User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\CONTENT.IE5\8LG0QJCS\games3(1).exe:\set.exe

This morning I search for the files again and voila there they were! My question become this ... these four files are now in the recycling bin the "LCUDK.EXE" I am being told is a system folder. Any potential problem by deleting it? Also once I empty the recyling bin is it truly gone?

Thanks for all the help,

Beeza

 

HI,

Well .... I got rid of two of the files. Still have two ... sigh

I dont know what I am doing wrong but I cant do a search for C:\Documents and Settings\Default User .... I am frustrated and annoyed!!!!!! I get a alert telling me the syntax is wrong .... (I am currently banging my head on the table in frustration).

I am going to try Panda and PCCillian and will aprise you of the results.

Thanks for all the help,

Beeza

 

Hi,

If no joy, please do this:

Go to http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/downloads.html , and download 'Startuplist' (in the "Startup Program Management" section).

Unpack, doubleclick it, and it will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.

Go to Edit > select all, copy it and please post the contents here.

That will gives us some insight on what's happening on your machine.

 

Hi,

First off ran panda scanner ... tried several times and I kept getting a Windows Service Pack installtion window. So couldn't do the scan. I tried PCCillin ... it didn't find anything.

As a side note ... the file path that Norton gave me was C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\tnpE\tmp.ini and another program (brain feezed I cant think of the name now... LOL) gave the file path as WINNT\n0tepad.exe !!! ... I did a search for both ... came up with nada ...

PS Bonzi Buddy was not my idea ... LOL ... it is gone now

 

You think you have 2 infected files or you know that you have 2 infected files for sure ?

Sorry, but the startup list seems to be ok.
Most of this is soundblaster creative specific stuff.

First of all, what Norton doesn't repair it will Quarantine, UNLESS you have changed the default setting to not quarantine them. Second a plan start find will not find files in your content IE or Your hidden files.
Why hasn't anybody recommended TDS-3 ? Third, doesn't anybody
check their registry RUN keys manualy anymore?
yes , it is nice to have a program like filechecker to verify important
program files have not been changed but I am not sure Filechecker monitors registry keys, does it? All startup registry keys should always be monitored Of course since all trojans only start on reboot, if you nerver have to reboot , your good to go LOL

 

About the List, I can only agree with my learned colleagues.

No virus or trojan activity to be seen at all.

On a side note, I'd just uncheck NewsUpd in Msconfig/Startup, and remove the following two items from your Windows\Downloaded Program Files Folder:

[{BD11A280-2E73-11CF-B6CF-00AA00A74DAF}]
CODEBASE = htp://images.bonzi.com/freebuddy/wd/bbsetuplim.exe

NSUpdateLiteCtrl Class]
InProcServer32 = C:\WINNT\System32\nsupdate.dll
CODEBASE = http://204.177.92.201/quickdl/proclaim/NSupd9x.cab

BTW, you were referring to this file in your Temp directory.

FYI, anything in < your drive>:\Documents and Settings\< user name>\Local Settings\Temp, can and should be nuked on a regular basis anyway, preferably after a reboot, when none of the files will likely be in use by Windows.

Cheers,

 

HI,

yes there is something there (i found the files and moved to the recyling bin - I got asked if I wanted to move system files to the new location - I freaked [still a newbi] and out them back !!!!! I am kicking myself for doing that in hindsight)... it isn't doing anything anymore ... thankfully. I appreciate ALL the help and advice I have been given. I just cant seem to get access to those two files. I will in time. or I will reformat

BTW - I could NOT run Panda's online scanner when I did so, Windows wanted to reinstall windows service pack. I tried several times to scan but no success (I got the same installation prompt) I agree about getting a anti trojan program ... and I will look into one asap.

As to Norton ... I tried to quarentine it, but was unable to do so and I did not alter the program. I did a straight installation and left the program at default settings. When I had the other trojan Norton would not quarentine that one either!

As to the registry .... I don't think I am capable - yet - of altering anything I would find there. But I like the suggestion I am just too wet behind the ears to do that just yet.

Thanks for all your help and quick response to my queries, I really appreciate it.

PS - one of things I noticed about this trojan which i found interesting was when I booted the computer a mIRC bar would show in the task bar for about 10 seconds - in the bar it said mIRC annex - it is now gone - i think when I got rid of the wexplorer.exe files that went with it, cause I dont see it anymore.

thanks again
