[Full-disclosure] Help!

Dear all,

recently I noticed that my PC shows the same phenomenon during virus scanning as described below.

What I would like to ask is whether it is a "common" phenomenon, or does it mean a virus (backdoor trojan eg) attack?

I have investigated about ADS and performed scans using popular scanners such as lns and lads, but it did not report any problem about the file SHELL32.dll.124.Config. It found however a lot of ADS, especially for JPG files, giving outputs like xxx.jpg:zone.Identifier

I 'm quite worried about the current situation.
Could somebody help? Thanks!

Danny

Thanks for the information. I have sent an email to Mark to see if he can
verify this or assist me in any way. This is helpful.

sounds like an ADS ( alternate data stream )
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Streams.html

I wrote this awhile back as notes on a project...

this is a simple example...
Create an executable ADS:
-------------------------
c:\>type c:\fullpath\exename.exe > somefile.ext:exename.exe ( or
somefile.exe:someothername.exe )

Execute an ADS:
---------------
c:\>start c:\pathto\somefile.ext
( starts the example above running exename.exe behind the visible
somefile.ext ) c:\>type c:\start.bat > c:\windows\explorer.exe:start.bat (
this creates a file named start.bat that executes explorer.exe ) c:\>start (
will now execute the full path to c:\to\somefile.ext )

hope this helps.

Hi,
Yes I am a "noob". I have a question though. Google searches and a
few other things can tell me nothing about "shell32.dll.124.config". I am
on WindowsXP SP2, and keep seeing this file show up in antivirus scans,
but
cannot find it anywhere on the system! I think it is dynamically created
by
something, but after sitting and watching Filemon 7.02 for 20 minutes or
so,
I give up. Has anyone heard of this file? Antivir, Bitdefender, AVG and
Clam all show it on the system, have scanned it, but have found nothing.
I
have never seen this file before...

Thanks in advance for your help!
