    W32/KWBot-A Virus

    hmm when I read the thread that monoton made about the kazaa's virus W32/KWBot-A I read all the softwares that were infected of this virus:

    Examples of filenames used are :

    Star Wars Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones VCD CD1.exe
    Spiderman The Movie - The Game.exe
    Grand Theft Auto 3 CD1 ISO.exe
    ZoneAlarm Firewall Pro.exe
    Windows XP Professional iso.exe
    Unreal Tournament cracked (works on all servers).exe
    University Study Guide (cheat sheet).exe
    Quicken Pro 2002 iso.exe
    Perl Ultimate Study Guide.exe
    Office XP Corporate Ed. iso.exe
    Norton Utilities 2002.exe
    Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 iso.exe
    MCSE Ultimate Study Guide.exe
    Max Payne full iso.exe
    Macromedia Flash 5.exe
    Kazaa Advertisement Ad remover.exe
    DSL Anonymizer.exe
    DoS Attacker.exe
    DivX Codec 6.0 beta (codec only).exe
    Credit Card number generator VERIFIER (cc cc#).exe
    cows gone wild.exe
    100 XXX Passwords (verified 3-24-02).exe

    Grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! When I saw ZoneAlarm Firewall Pro.exe I got very pissed because I download that program from Kazaa!! I know i know it was stupid but i needed a Firewall PRONTO!

    I already deleted the Firewall but I know that wont help and I know the virus is still in my PC.

    So if any of you guys would help me how to DELETE this virus It would be alot of HELP!!!!

    Thanks!

    Just run an updated virus scanner. It should detect the virus if you have it on your system. Also, if you needed a firewall, you probably should have just downloaded the freeware version of ZoneAlarm... that way you're ensured that it's clean and you don't pirate software... no one likes a software pirate.

    Thanks for the Tip avdven! But you think just doing a virus scan in my computer would work and delete the virus just like that?

    LilDraganon > Yeah, if you have updated virus defs. and run a full scan, it'll find it and clean it. If it can't clean the files, just quarantine them for later removal.

    Tedob1 > The virus was discovered on June 18, 2002, and the definitions from Symantec released the next day (the 19th) can detect and clean infected files. See more info here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...wbot.worm.html

    Pretty clever of them to disguise it as an Update Build...all the more reason for people to keep track of the legitimate updates that they've downloaded, including the build numbers as well as the time and date of the update. (plus the source of the 'build')

    The deletion through the registry may be the best immediate solution, however....then, when the programmers at the AV companies post a patch, run that to get rid of all of the scraps...
