Malware deletes spybot...

[trfillos]

I have something in my computer since yesterday that I believe it's malware that deletes the SpyBotSD, blindman, TeaTimer and Update executable files. When I am trying to copy a good SpyBotSD.exe from a cd I burned I am receiving the following message 'Cannot copy SpyBotSD: Cannot find the specified file.' !!!

At a second approach of mine, I tried the same as above but I renamed SpyBotSD.exe to SD.exe. Now the file copied OK and runs. The scan result finds a Win32.Agent.bgy, A FirstRRRun something registry key and the executable 'C:\windows\exefld.exe'. I am fixing it but at the next restart Spybot scan it's there again.

I have also noticed a process with a random (probably) number.exe at my task manager. Also found this file 'c:\windows\system32\hidr.exe' and I delete it because after a quick internet search I found that it was part of Bagle.HV virus. I don't know if I did the right thing by deleting this file...

This thing also disables completely windows security center.

It also deleted NOD32 I had installed. Now I can not reinstall it because after the extraction of the installation files an error is coming up.

Now, the conclusion is that. I cannot find and remove this thing. Also I don't know how dangerous is...

PLEASE HELP!!! THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME

Fixed

I had this same problem and wasted all evening trying to figure out what kind of malware was doing this.

Turns out it's a rootkit that installs itself as a driver, it also hooks the file create function so you can't install antivirus, antispyware, etc.

complete details and removal instructions are here:

Edit


this was the tool that finally exposed this malware to me and gave me the google search term i needed:

RootKit Unhooker:

Edit.

virus / rootkit name is called
Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Bagle.cu

i got it from a trojaned file on eMule.

Once i got that far it was pretty easy to fix.

this thing had installed drivers, services, files, directories, and changed permissions on folders. what a pain.


good luck.
