rimix.exe no info on this virus, so here's what I got
Good evening folks.
Here my situation:
Win 2k with all updates
Spybot S&D updated and ran
Ad-aware updated and ran
Symantec AV Corp updated and ran
All reg keys asscociated with rimix.exe deleted. (along with any other key words associated with the files listed below)
Trend Housecall ran (just in case)
Here's whats left:
Periodical I will have rimix.exe as one of my processes. If not caught, it will spawn a whole bunch of others processes(trust.exe, final.exe, update.exe, and a whole bunch of net.exe, and cmd.exe) These will of course take up a huge amount of resources.
Upon investigation of the file system, I find a folder in my C:/WINNT/SYSTEM32/ called DRIVER/VGA. Now thats driver, not to be confused with drivers. Contained in this folder are the files that are causing the problems.
app.exe
autoexe
config.sys
exprins.sys
ip.sys
rimix.exe
setting.sys
surce.exe
tool.sys
trust.exe
update.exe
winsows.sys
Now these files can be deleted, but will pop in in a few minutes time. Also none of the malware scanners will pick these files or processes up (even while the processes are actively running). Symantec and Trend Housecall will not pick them up. Now I know that surce is a know virus type, which Symantec will pick up but cannot delete.
So what do you all think? I'm pretty sure I've hit my limit. I have done a search here, sarc, trend, mcafee, and google, for rimix.exe or any of the others with no results.
Thanks in advanced folks. Any help is appreciated.
