Threat Details:
Categories:
trojan
Description:
Win32.Rebhip.br is a Trojan horse that pretends to be a legit file to get executed. Once executed it throws an error message pretending that it cannot be executed but it starts a fake rundll32.exe and the Internet Explorer in the background and connects to its malicious servers.
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 "microsoft" and pointing to "<$SYSDIR>\microsoft\rundll32.exe".
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$LOCALSETTINGS>\Temp\Tester7".
The file at "<$LOCALSETTINGS>\Temp\Tester8".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\Microsoft\rundll32.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Win32.Rebhip.br 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!
Important: There are more files 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.
Registry:
You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.
