Threat Details:
Categories:
trojan
Description:
Win32.Llac is a Trojan horse that pretends to be a Windows system file. It also tries to install malicious services in background and disable Least-privilege User Account (LUA) to compromise the computer more easily.
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 "ctfmonn.exe" and pointing to "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\ctfmonn.exe".
Important: There are more autorun entries that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
A file with an unknown location named "ctfmonn.exe".
The file at "<$LOCALAPPDATA>\ctfmonn.exe".
The file at "<$LOCALSETTINGS>\Temp\dclogs.sys".
The file at "c:\windows\system32\trs.sys".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Win32.Llac 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 "ctfmonn" at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\".
Delete the registry key "DC3_FEXEC" at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\".
Delete the registry key "pelodlo" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\".
Delete the registry key "pelodlo" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\".
Delete the registry key "pelodlo" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\".

Final Words:
