win32:sloup(Rtk) detected by avast! nothing appears when googled...

system · May 26, 2009, 1:32am

I’ve seen another post http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=45406.0 like this but was suggested to create my own, didn’t know since I am a newbie. :

While surfing the net avast! detected a threat and showed this message:

Malware name: win32:sloup (Rtk)
Malwaretype: Rootkit

and avast keeps on recommending to send to chest sys files from C:\windows\system32\drivers
like - kmixer.sys, mouhid.sys, mskssrv.sys, mspclock.sys and after taking action or no action at all avast! keeps popping up the same threat but different file inside system32.

These are the actions I’ve taken chronologically as suggested by Tech on the other thread:

tried cleaning up right after avast detected the threat but can’t delete some files & a suspicious file: wpv331243111142.exe which i think was trying to access some site mixmedia.net.cn (if i remember it correctly) but avast was blocking it.
i restarted my laptop & ran it in safe mode & cleaned up with Disk Cleanup,unfortunately it did not delete my temp files at all so i manually looked into the folder & deleted my temp files.
avast didn’t detect it so i used DrWeb & it found some threats from my NortonPc and StickIt apps which i removed and deleted eventually.
i used spyware terminator & it detected one problem which is a registry key for a startup of Stickit so i let it fix it.
used avast! antirootkit but it didn’t detect anything which confused me since avast! detected the threat as a possible rootkit.
will paste the hijackthis log on a new reply since my post will exceed 10k chars:

haven’t done #6-8

Have a look at the link,download and run rootrepeal, do not delete anything,just post the log. There are zip and rar dowloads.You will need a third party software to open the rar

this one is the same as Microsoft’s Rlsloup… it uses infected drivers to build a spambot network…

hi guys! thanks for the help. though i want to go through all of the necessary steps to clean this mess I’ve decided to reformat my os.

Maxx_original · May 26, 2009, 11:28am

first try if MS is able to clean the infection with its Malicious Removal Tool (MRT)

win32:sloup(Rtk) detected by avast! nothing appears when googled...
