setup.exe & autorun.inf in C:\

[ellulbrian]

I'm getting two strange files (setup.exe & autorun.inf) in the root directory of the hdd (C:\). I'm always deleting them but they reappear at a random time. I've also scanned with S&D, BitDefender and Panda Active Scan(see below).

I've attached the setup.exe file if someone can analyze what is it.

Thanks.

Please do not attach infected files, if a helper wishes to analyse a file they will give you a link to submit.

My own anti-virus program flagged it immediately.

Thank you. ;)

[ellulbrian]

I don't know what is it because S&D, BitDefender, Panda Activescan and Windows Defender didn't dedect anything.

So whats the name of the infection that your anti-virus dedected?

Thanks

[ellulbrian]

Thanks to pskelly for the links, I've scanned the file online.

These are the jotti results:


AntiVir
Found Heuristic/Trojan.Downloader (probable variant)

NOD32
Found probably a variant of Win32/Medbot.BH (probable variant)

All Others
Found Nothing


These are the virustotal results:


McAfee
BackDoor-CMQ.dldr

NOD32v2
probably a variant of Win32/Medbot.BH

Panda
Suspicious file

All others
Found Nothing

So is there a clue how to remove this malware? pls.

Thanks

[ellulbrian]

How can I remove the above mentioned Medbot or BackDoor-CMQ.dldr according to McAfee?

Any suggestions pls?

Yes, but the problem was resolved or at least Spybot is not reporting any threats so it can be closed.
