Today we are going to give you some information to help you keep your PC free of Malware, Viruses and Spyware. Here are a few names to kick around FOR NOW.

The new face of AntiVirus 2009 (Read more about AntiVirus 2009 below) is AntiVirus 360 (av360.exe)
It has all the goodies of the old version with some new names. I guess these people are getting paid? Be very cautious about installing . If installed you may see
.
Below are a Few ScreenShots.
  
 
  
 

  1. winconfig.dll   299,088 bytes   CLSID: D263FA6D-84CC-48A8-9AF6-C664362B7A5B

AntiVirus 2009 (FAKE SCANNER)

IF YOU SEE A LINK LIKE THIS DON'T CLICK ON IT.

  1. "http://protectedinternet.cn/firstrun.php ?product=%product%& aff=%aff%&update=%update%&crypt=g"
  2. http://microsoft.securityinfohelp.com/2009/presale.php ?aid=&u=2


This one is Great. It LOOKS like a legitimate program to download and install and a lot of our clients have. Unfortunately, this is another malicious program that notifies you that you have been infected with so many threats that you feel like you have to install this program and get rid of the threats. Oh, from what we have been told they provide a way for you to pay them. Wow!

Well, what you soon learn is that your PC is behaving strangely. Over time, you will not be able to get to certain sites and you are not allowed to install certain programs that might detect the malware. Your PC will begin to perform poorly (i.e. running slow and crashing).

This thing has soooooo many faces to it that, while virus scanners get most OR some of it, you are left with pieces of it on your computer that ensures the process will start again. Thus creating a never ending cycle!

Computer Tip: Some files hide themselves in the System Restore files and folders.

Be sure to visit StL MobileTech's Free Download Center to get Free Programs that can help you protect your computer!

Below are some screenshots. If you need assistance with removal of this or any malware/ spyware of Virus, contact us at 314-496-5193!

Delete this folder:
C:\Program Files\Antivirus 2009
it contains the file: av2009.exe
Here are a couple of registry entries to look for, however, if you are not familiar with the registry...DON'T TOUCH IT!
Name: 4c23ed73
Type: REG_SZ
Data: rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\djcrocjg.dll",b

Name: BM4f10deef
Type: REG_SZ
Data: Rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\gkovpwci.dll",s

Name: pPath
Type: REG_SZ
Data: "C:\Program Files\Antivirus 2009\av2009.exe"

Lastly, you may want to look for the following files and verify that they are legit. They are usually in the C:\WINNT\System32\ OR C:\Windows\System32\  folder.

  1. mmeluy.dll   129,024 bytes   CLSID: e7fccdac-0d16-ed2b-e1f4-6fff9b54ace9 AND 9eca45b9-fff6-4f1e-b2de-61d0cadccf7e
  2. winsystems.dll   297,472 bytes  CLSID: 0B014B81-4E12-46F9-806F-55867AF8FD3C
These are Browser Helper Objects (BHO).



Next, we'll discuss things associated with Win32_Netsky_q ( High Risk Worm)

This is a nasty one (Risk Level:HIGH); usually passed through email attachments or maybe codecs. Once your PC is infected, the worm can scan your address book and send itself to all of your friends and colleagues. I guess you will know if they are really you friends when they get the email? This Email Worm is malicious and spreads without any help from the user. In addition to Email, Worms can use vulnerabilities of networks to self-perpetuate across any given network. Some worms can consume substantial amounts of your PC' s available assets making it agonizing to work with. Misery loves company. Don't forget, Worms, have friends and they are getting invited too. You may OR may not notice it. However, you may have programs with malicious intent installed on your computer that you did not install. Those are the friends!

If you have uninvited guests, StL MobileTech can help clean up the party!

Below are some file names that you can look for on your PC that are associated with this virus. We have also attached some screenshots.

 FHEXJ*.EXE

  • C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data\Google\fhexj<NUMBERS>.exe
  •  JBGDILHG.EXE
  • UPD.EXE
  • WJQS.EXE
  •  helper.dll
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\mst122.dll (You may find it under C:\WINNT\system32\mst122.dll  as well)
  • affected file SHUTDOWN.EXE
Of course, Google is not associated with this, even though it installs to a folder called Google.
