| Over the weekend, I got hit by a virus that caused Windows to be unable to
| reboot.
|
| I think it was from the site
|
|
http://network.aptimus.com/AptiNet/HTTPHandlerServlet?pid=246136FDB3315318&destURL=http://www.ysbweb.com/install/welcome_end.html
|
| This was a link form some other site, and after loading this page the
| machine immediately rebooted. On the attempt to reboot, Windows got a driver
| error and again rebooted.
|
| After going into safe mode, a date search showed that several pieces of
| software had been installed including some drivers. A Google on the driver
| names produces NO hits which I find very unusual.
|
| The end result was that ysb.dll was added as a Browser Helper Object,
|
| 11 new directories were added to Program Files. These were:
|
| Gooewer9
| "Pe yware"
| 180searchassistant
| SurfAccuracy
| BullsEye Network
| Quick Links
| SideFind
| Power Scan
| Internet Optimizer
| YourSiteBar
| ISTsvc
|
| The first two directories do not produce a hit on Google!
|
| One of these contained npf.sys which I know about.
|
| More importantly, two drivers were added to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers
|
| These were:
|
| sii07nt59.sys
| vdmnmdxx9.sys
|
| Microsoft AntiSpyware did not detect these during a scan. It did detect 180,
| SurfAccuracy, BullsEye, SideFind, Power Scan, Internet Optimizer and YSB.
|
| I suspected that these were the drivers causing Windows to fail to load. I
| renamed them to .bad and was able to boot back into normal Windows. However,
| a back door (I noticed a command prompt running) caused 180, SurfAccuracy,
| BullsEyem SideFind, Power Scan, Internet Optimizer and YSB to reload.
|
| Has anyone else come across these two drivers? Any idea what they do?
|
| Thanks,
|

For non-viral malware...

Please download, install and update the following software...

Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

For viral malware...

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter {
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } three batch files, five Kixtart scripts, one Link
(.LNK) file, a PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and WGET.EXE. It will
simplify the process of using; Sophos, Trend and McAfee Anti Virus Command Line Scanners to
remove viruses, Trojans and various other malware.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This
way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor’s web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Exit the menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file.

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
