check following registry keys on infected machine:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
is there any mention of your file ? (note registry value can have another
name, but path should include secure32).
Why can't you remove it from Task Manager ? Seems like module has it's
protection? Open this process in the Far and look at the list of modules it
uses.
Try to find "not-usual" dlls that are loaded it secure32.exe. More likely,
that secure32.exe extracts dll from it's resrouces and injects it somewhere,
after been injecting this dll may monitor system for occurences of
secure32.exe and if its absent(somebody terminated it) start it. If you will
find this "unusual dll" try to find it in all processes - if there are any
occurences in another processes, then most likely secure32 uses
SetWindowsHook to map it in all processes.
Try to find that dll (and remove) in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify.
In addition to all that I wrote you may use ProcessExplorer from
www.sysinternals.com (it's free) to see what mutexes, events, threads
secure32.exe creates; and play with them. Most mailware creates protection
threads - a piece of code that monitors OS items to protect (registry,
processes, etc), so if you will terminate protection thread (if you will
find it) you will be able to remove it.
I usually perform these simple steps to remove mailware, and if I fail I
take debugger (SoftIce or OllyDbg, IDA pro) and begin debugging to make sure
how to remove that stuff from system.
