    Default Question about suspected file...

    Hey guys,

    So I was a victim of Virtumonde and finally got it cleaned off, ran ton of scans afterwords including with Spybot S&D and came up with no threats. Everything is running fine again too.

    Now I went into my task manager and rundll32.exe is currently running....when I had Virtumonde this was associated with it.

    Should I be alarmed and do something, if so what? Or should I not worry about it?

    Ever since I ran a ton of scans and they found nothing I haven't done any system restores or anything either, but everything is currently running 100% fine compared to when I had Virtumonde.

    Thanks,

    David

    Hi there,

    You did not mention your operating system or the path to rundll32.exe.

    However this link should help explain.

    Sorry to double post, here's what I grabbed off it.

    Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe

    Command Line: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\awtTkigD.dll",ShellPath

    Current Directory: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\

    Parent: svchost.exe(1516)

    Did you copy that exactly?

    Apprantly awt.dll is a Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary, but "awtTkigD.dll" and "awtTkigD.dll",ShellPath is unconventional.

    Hello Chaos31,

    That entry could be a vundo file, either leftover or live. I will send you to the malware removal forum so they can see a log.

    But first, which tools did you use aside from Spybot-S&D when you tried to clean the infection, and do you have old versions of Sun Java on that computer?

    Sun Microsystems~Java. Security vunerability in older versions left on system

    Best regards.

    Nope I made sure to update my Java.

    I used:
    -ATF Cleaner
    -Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    -VundoFix
    -SysRestorePoint (Just to make backup encase)
    -erunt (Just to make system restore point encase)
