Threat Details:
Categories:
hijacker
Description:
hijacks the Internet Explorer using a Browser Helper Object
Supposed Functionality:
not stated, naming implies that it is supposed to be a multimedia application
Removal Instructions:
Autorun:
Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd), RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.
Entries named "Dynamic Desktop Media" and pointing to "<$SYSDIR>\sysu.exe".
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\redirect.dll".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Dynamic Desktop Media uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Registry:
You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.
Delete the registry key "ddm" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\".
Delete the registry key "{9819c369-5f62-4d37-9a42-44043a742c1e}" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\".
A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "BrowserHelper.ClsRedirecter", plus associated values.
