Download to your desktop: UnhookExec.inf from:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/tool.to.reset.shellopencommand.registry.keys.html

and then right click on it and Install.

Also Download to your desktop: DelDomain.inf from:
 
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm  and then right click on it and Install.


Also download and install ccleaner.exe from http://www.ccleaner.com. Don't let
it clean anything yet.
 
Download the Hoster from:


http://www.funkytoad.com/

Unpack to your desktop and run it.  If you see green text then press the Restore Original Hosts button and OK.
If you see red text then press the Make Hosts Writable button then the Restore Original Hosts button and OK.


 
Download the Killbox.

http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip

Unzip it to the desktop

Double-click Killbox.exe to run it.

Select "Delete on Reboot".
Place the following line (complete path) in the "Full Path of File to Delete" box in Killbox:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drct16.dll

(You can copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) or just retype.)

Press the red button.  Agree that you want to delete the file but do not let it reboot yet.

Repeat for each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\vkbwsvc.exe
C:\DOCUME~1\STEVE&~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\sysnet.exe
C:\WINDOWS\cxxhdll.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\fizmenc.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe

C:\WINDOWS\System32\hiden.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\p2.ini
C:\WINDOWS\System32\tmpf00.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mszx.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drct16.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vdnt32.sys
C:\WINDOWS\System32\klogini.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\i.a3d
C:\WINDOWS\System32\fltr.a3d
C:\WINDOWS\System32\redir.a3d
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ps.a3d
C:\WINDOWS\System32\w32tm.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\cz.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\hz.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wz.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\snim.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\winlow.sys
C:\WINDOWS\System32\vdmt16.sys

The last 18 may or may not be present.  If it says it can't
find one then go to the next one.

 

Shutdown and Restart and Boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when you see the PC
maker's logo.
Keep tapping until it tells you it is going to Safe Mode or you see the Safe
Mode menu. Select the top option.

Run HijackThis and just do a Scan only. Check then Fix Checked the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Sysnet] C:\DOCUME~1\STEVE&~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\sysnet.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [cxxhdll] C:\WINDOWS\cxxhdll.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [fizmenc] C:\WINDOWS\fizmenc.EXE
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [System] C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe

(O16 entries will be redownloaded if you visit their site.  You can save them if you trust them
but I don't know what they are.)

Wait 60 seconds and repeat the scan. Did any of the above come back? IF so
leave HijackThis up and right click on the clock and select Task Manager. Then
Processes. Find Explorer.exe, right click on it and select End Process. The
desktop will disappear but HijackThis should still be there. IF you don't see
it switch to Applications in Task Manager and highlight it there then press
Switch To or just double click on it. Check and Fix Checked the above again.
Restart Explorer by Task Manager, File, New Task(Run), explorer.exe, OK.

Run ccleaner.exe, uncheck everything on the first page except the two entries
with Temporary and then Run Cleaner.


Reboot into regular mode and run another HijackThis log and post it as a reply. Let's
see how we did.

I removed this whole mess manually from a client's computer yesterday. One other symptom of note is that the files causing the infection are all dated 12/31/79, in other words the day before the official start of time according to Microsoft. Consequently, you cannot search for these files by date with Windows Explorer.

Microsoft support article #903251, dated June 30, 2005, contains a very accurate and complete description of the Haxdoor virus and how to remove it. However, the article does not explain how Windows or IE is exploited to install the virus... Ben
