Threat Details:
Categories:
trojan
Description:
Win32.Artemis copies malicious files to the system drive. Additionally it starts itself via an autorun entry and connects to the Internet in the background.
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 "Obcar" and pointing to ""<$APPDATA>\Apubik\obcar.exe"".
Important: There are more autorun entries that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$LOCALSETTINGS>\Temp\TNN5E46\upd.exe".
The file at "c:\#$%^.txt".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Win32.Artemis uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) 2.x 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!
