Re: Zlob Trojan - Newbie on group - Help please!

From: "pOTRice" <potriceReMoVe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Sorry if this was dealt with recently but this is my first look at
| this group.
|
| Running WIn2000 on an Althlon 2000+
| Free ZoneAlarm and AVG *Pro*
|
| First symptom - ZoneAlarm squeeked about dfrgsrv.exe trying to go out
| on the internet.
| What's dfrgsvr I wondered - "svr" sounds dangerous (Defrag Server?)
| I denied the access.
| I found the file dfrgsvr.exe sitting in C:\WINNT\system32.
| Ran Micro$oft AntiSpyware Beta 1 - it found Zlob indicated by a
| Registry key
| . .\Explorer\Run wininet.dll triggering (guess what?)
| dfrgsvr.exe at startup.
| This matches Micro$oft's notes about Zlob on their site.
|
| No problem I thought - just let AntiSpy remove the key.
| Too easy - in fact every attempt at even manually removing it fails -
| it seems to be 'self-repairing'
| The dfrgsvr.exe cannot be renamed or deleted - sharing violation -
| presumable because it's running.
| A request to AntiSpy to 'block' this item at start up is apparently
| accepted and it shows an entry in its list as "blocked" but another
| 'live' entry reappears!
|
| Running the latest Micro$oft Malware Removal Tool does *not* find it.
|
| Run out of ideas!
|
| Anybody killed this successfully?



Two part reply..

Perform Part 1 then perform Part 2.

If the first two parts don't work, perform the alternate utility.

It is suggested that you execute each tool in Normal Mode then in Safe Mode.

If you are using any version of Sun Java that is prior to JRE Version 5.0,
then you are strongly urged to remove any/all versions that are prior to JRE
Version 5.0. There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited.

Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java
to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version 5.0 Update 6
be installed ASAP.

Part 1
-----------

Use noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, et. al., removal tool -- SmitRem.exe
http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click%20counter/click.php?id=1

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic43659.html


Part 2
-----------

Download SmitFraud.exe from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/SmitFraud.exe

Execute; SmitFraud.exe { Note: You must accept the default of C:\McAfee }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to enable WGET.EXE to download the needed McAfee related files.

Execute; c:\mcafee\clean.bat
{ or Double-click on 'Clean Link' in c:\mcafee }

A final report in HTML format called C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML or
C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML will be generated. At the end of the scan, it will be
displayed in your browser (Opera, FireFox or Internet Explorer). However, if you are using
WinXP, Win2K or Win2003 your system will be left in a state where you will have to manually
shutdown/reboot the PC. On Win9x/ME platforms the report will not be shown in your bowser
but your PC will automatically be shutdown. It is suggested that you move the report out of
c:\mcafee before performing another scan.

It would be best to scan in both Safe Mode and in Normal Mode and save a copy of the HTML
report for each session.


ALTERNATE:

Secured2K's SpyAxe, PSGuard, Smitfraud, Sinnaka and Alemod removal tool.

Please Copy and Paste the contents of the HTML Log files;
C:\mcafee\Normal_ScanReport.HTML & C:\mcafee\Safe_ScanReport.HTML in your reply.
