771922 2009-05-07 05:20:00 Dear all,
A friend's laptop has been infected with the classic worm (the machine shows the RPC message before automatically shutting down). After removing one nasty program via HijackThis (the log is clean otherwise), I scanned the computer using the removal tool from the Symantec website, but it did not pick up the worm. I then tried scanning the laptop using NOD32 that came installed on it, but it too did not detect the worm. MalwareBytes managed to pick up and remove 30 malware, but that did not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

OS: Windows XP SP2.

771924 2009-05-07 05:39:00 Blimey been a while since thats raised its head - used to remove that in less than a minute :lol:

when the PC starts

type do the following :

Click on Start, Run
Type in CMD and press ENTER
Type in the following command and press Enter

SHUTDOWN -A

This will stop the shut down.

Next:

Terminate the running program

Open the Windows Task Manager by either pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, selecting the Processes tab or selecting Task Manager and then the process tab

Locate one of the following programs (depending on variation), click on it and End Task or End Process

MSBLAST.EXE
PENIS32.EXE
TEEKIDS.EXE
MSPATCH.EXE
MSLAUGH.EXE
ENBIEI.EXE

Close Task Manager

Download This here (www.microsoft.com) - run it.

Remove the Registry entries if there:

Click on Start, Run, Regedit
In the left panel go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Run

In the right panel, right-click and delete the following entry
”windows auto update" = MSBLAST.EXE (variant A)
”windows auto update" = PENIS32.EXE (variant B)
”Microsoft Inet xp.." = TEEKIDS.EXE (variant C)
"Nonton Antivirus"=MSPATCH.EXE (variant E)
"Windows Automation" = "mslaugh.exe" (variant F)
"www.hidro.4t.com"="enbiei.exe" (variant G)

MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE.

Open the search - do a complete system Search for msblast*.* Delete anything it finds.

Update your nod32 - run a full indepth scan.

EDITED: it may not be Blaster - there are a couple of " copycat" bugs that do the same thing.

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix . exe to your Desktop

Double-click on ComboFix . exe & follow the prompts .

If it will not run rename Combofix to xxx . exe and run that .

As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed .
