Network activity (URLs)

URL	IP
2a8k.cn	Unresolvable

HOSTS file anomalies

The Backdoor modifies "%System%\drivers\etc\hosts" file which is used to translate DNS entries to IP addresses.
The modified file is 5743 bytes in size. The following strings are added to the hosts file listed below:

Rootkit activity

The Backdoor installs the following kernel-mode hooks:

ZwQuerySystemInformation

The Backdoor substitutes IRP handlers in a file system driver (FastFAT) to control operations with files:

MJ_CREATE

The Backdoor substitutes IRP handlers in a file system driver (NTFS) to control operations with files:

MJ_CREATE

Propagation

A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Backdoor's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Remove it with Ad-Aware

1. Click (here) to download and install Ad-Aware Free Antivirus.
2. Update the definition files.
3. Run a full scan of your computer.

Manual removal*

1. Scan a system with an anti-rootkit tool.
   
2. Terminate malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):
   

   taskkill.exe:3116
   taskkill.exe:3764
   taskkill.exe:3616
   sc.exe:136
   rundll32.exe:1172
   

3. Delete the original Backdoor file.
   
4. Delete or disinfect the following files created/modified by the Backdoor:
   

   %System%\drivers\acpiec.sys (12672 bytes)
   %WinDir%\Driver Cache\i386 (4096 bytes)
   %System%\wbem\Repository\FS\OBJECTS.MAP (12288 bytes)
   D:\1.exe (1106757 bytes)
   %WinDir%\repair (4096 bytes)
   %System%\func.dll (36353 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp (4096 bytes)
   C:\autorun.inf (21 bytes)
   %System%\CatRoot2\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE} (4096 bytes)
   %WinDir%\LastGood\system32 (4096 bytes)
   %System%\drivers\etc\hosts (5743 bytes)
   %System%\drivers\pcidump.sys (11905 bytes)

   %WinDir%\inf (8192 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\desktop.ini (67 bytes)
   %System%\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE} (4096 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\test.pml (9359360 bytes)
   %System%\config (4096 bytes)
   %WinDir%\phpi.dll (45569 bytes)
   D:\autorun.inf (21 bytes)
   %System%\wbem\Repository\FS\MAPPING1.MAP (28672 bytes)
   C:\1.exe (1106757 bytes)

5. Restore the original content of the HOSTS file (%System%\drivers\etc\hosts):
   127.0.0.1 localhost
   
6. Clean the Temporary Internet Files folder, which may contain infected files (How to clean Temporary Internet Files folder).
   
7. Find and delete all copies of the worm's file together with "autorun.inf" scripts on removable drives.
   
8. Reboot the computer.
   

*Manual removal may cause unexpected system behaviour and should be performed at your own risk.
