Help any news on W32.Bobax.A

Hello Everyone , well yesterday i had the win32 sasser-D 12377.exe virus on my pc .
Very strange . yesterday afternoon i had no more internet on my pc. my router was on line and all i could see was deny , deny , reject .
I put on my tcpveiw program , and bascilly the virus was looking for othe machines. i could not get throw to the internet with my router , but when i changed the direct connection to my modem , i can get on line as you can see :slight_smile: . well avast cleaned the sasser , i also had al microsoft updates. now the computer is still sending out and searching for other machines .

i can get round it by closing the connections its sending out.

service exe
isass.exe

W32.Bobax.A i think what i have is W32.Bobax.A apparently a total new THING. does anyone know of this ? or how it can be cleaned.
this has happened to more people i know , all at the same time yesterday afternoon.

Hi,

are you sure the Spelling is right ? not
services.exe
LSASS.exe

does any virusscanner (like Trend & KAv below) find the BOBAX in those files or anywhere else?
where are they located (full path) ?
WHY do you think you got “bobax” ? please supply link with description

have you also applied MS04-011 ?
did you change all your passwords ?

read here and check if descriptions match …:

Trend
MCafee :wink:

Hi
Yes you are right .
services.exe
LSASS.exe

i thought it might be as said earlier BOBAX but isnt found anywhere on computer.

link: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bobax.a.html

yes i have the update from microsoft insatlled. But not helped me.

What passwords do you mean, that I shoud change ?

Ok at the moment i have service.exe:2024 TCP xx-xx:3456 68-117-194-168.cpe.ga.charter.com:7000 SYN_SENT
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Its just going crazy and sending out pings and stuff . and blocks me receiving any websites. Till I close it down manully. I can now get out through my router .

Trend Micro

Always says found WORM SDBOT.D

And says cleaned sucsessfull. But this is everytime I start windows and run the scanner.

Also found and cleaned

BAT_SASSER.A_cmd.ftp this is cleaned total.

This is doing my nut in .
Even my friend had this yesterday and formatted his hard drive. And guess what !! its still there!

This is ugly . maybe if i do a boot scan.
never had a thing like this before.

keep in touch, thanks

@1) these two are normal Windows files, if they are in the System32-folder!! they are suspicious, if anywhere else

@2)
Please be correct in your spelling: is it serviceS.exe or service.exe ?

and supply the full path/folder/filename for any file you consider suspicious, like c:\windows\system32\services.exe

you’ll find this info in the alert/log of your firewall, or in the Trendmicro-report after a scan

also scan every occurence of service(s).exe and lsass.exe on your PC with Trend AND KAV (see below) and report their findings;
set your Explorer to show all files before the search for the files: explorer-> Extras/View → folder options → set it to show all Files/folders, even system and hidden files

Also please post a hijackthis-Log here: www.lurkhere.com

and CHECK!! for new windowsupdates, via IE->extras->Windowsupdates → search for updates

if you have/had Spybot on your PC, you need to change every password ever entered on the PC (admin, main user, users etc…) and also PIN’s, ebay/onlinebanking data
Also close/protect your shared folders
this also if you decide to format your PC !!

SDBOT-Info

:wink:

Hi again thanks for the info.

well after clearing each virus , it seems another pops up .

Avast updated earlier today and found…

go on have a shot in the dark !!

yes . W32.Bobax.A

Win32:Bobax [Wrm

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\87SPLOXS\217.82.117[1].gif

Win32:SdBot-194-B [Trj]

C:\WINDOWS\system32\smss32.exe[AsPack

so im just going to restart my comp and see if i have manged to get rid of it.

il also check the spelling if it is still there.

well this is the 7th virus to be uncovered .

il be back soon .

thanks for the link.

Hi
:slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Thanks for you help .

I have all under control now.

just hope it stays that way.

Keep you up the good work. Your a star in the net.

Cheers

I’m not sure whether i have the bobax virus or not ???
in my windows/temp file folder there is a file which avast will not scan file is c:\windows\temp\zlt04c0e.tmp i’ve tried todelete this file but it tells me that the file is in use by another process and cannot be closed. i have no idea which process is using it and what to do about it
any ideas :stuck_out_tongue:
there seems to be no major hassles but — i thought i would check
thanx

Hi well im not a know all ii this area myself.

if you have the virus normally avast will pick it up after the last update , trend micro also.

i would stay of line , use tcpveiw and see if its looking for a connection connect or send .

the file you could proberly Cut out and Paste into your bin .

terchwizad

thank you for the suggestions :wink:
i tried them but no joy >:(
still can’t find what the hell this thing does and i can’t get rid of it
if anyone has any more ideas i’d appreciate it.

thanks again
:-\

You could post a hijackthislog, maybe we can find out some more things:

Hi,

  • you don’t have all Windowsupdates → APPLY them
  1. → install, update, scan & fix with Ad-aware, spybot and cwshredder
    from http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/index.html & www.lavasoft.de

  2. check all (Startup-)entries in HJT-Log if they are malicious or useless,
    and fix them if so…
    → with Log-file from Hijackthis
    http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.html (english tutorial) in combination with:

a) database http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php or OFFLINE: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/start_ups.exe or
http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/search.php & http://www.reger24.de/processes.php & www.google.de
b) KAV-Scanner (see below)

reboot…

if problems remain, tell us exactly what you did so far, and post a new Hijackthis-Log :wink:
