Hey people.

I seem to have caught a worm. How I don't really know. I guess it wasn't really me catching the worm, since I borrowed this computer from a friend.
Anyway...

The problem is the classic one: Some 10 chat screens are opened randomly and a short text including a link is pasted. And frankly it's starting to bug me very much.

The text being displayed is:
"Look at me"

Then the link being posted is (I've broken it so no one, no matter how stupid, can catch the worm):
"h**p://importz.t35.com/mypictures.php"

Just removed the two "t"'s in "http://".

If anyone has a solution on how to remove this hell of a worm, please let me know. And I would like a very "straight to the bone" answer, not that I should go buy some antivirus software... I simply won't do that.

Someone must know how to remove this worm manually?

Sounds like you have w32.bropia worm, you can download the removal tool from the following link: Symantec Website.

Checking that out ASAP.

And by ASAP I mean I'm running the tool as we speak.

Nope, wasn't the w32.bropia worm...

One of your dudes from the IRC help channel told me the link was dead anyway... It still just bugs me to hell with all those windows popping up all the time...

Yeah, that was me. Okay, download HijackThis ( http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip ) and post the log here. Then maybe I or someone else could take a look at it and spot the virus.

Right, here's the log:

As far as I can see the virus is the following file: C:\head891238.exe

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the task manager. Find the process 'head891238.exe' and terminate it. Then open up HijackThis, have it scan, and remove the following items:

code:

---

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\\yay.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [eTunnel] C:\head891238.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Anti-Virus Update Scheduler V1.39.13R] C:\head891238.exe

---

Make sure that the process is terminated before you remove it with HijackThis otherwise the startup entry will most likely be automatically restored.

Now you need to delete the file itself. Easiest way would be to go to C:\ and delete head891238.exe if you can see it. Problem is that its attributes are probably set to hidden. If that is the case, go to Start => Run and type 'cmd', then in the black window that appears type:

code:

---

del C:\head891238.exe

---

It should delete, and that should, in theory, be the end of your msn worm problems.

By the way, I can see you have MyWebSearch (adware) installed. You might want to remove that, either by checking whether it will let you do so in Add/Remove programs, or by using Spybot S&D or Ad-Aware.

EDIT: You might want to repeat the steps that you took to delete C:\head891238.exe, instead for the file C:\yay.exe (although it might not exist, in that case then it doesn't matter).

Thanks a bunch.

This computer is really fucked up, I wonder what my mate has been doing with it

All steps are completed with succes. Thank you and have a merry Christmas.
