Virtumonde delivered as a backdoor trojan

The Virtumonde virus is commonly delivered via a trojan so I thought I would look around and find a good article about backdoor trojans…

A trojan is a malicious application that appears to do one thing, but actually does another. Like it’s name sake, the mythical Trojan Horse, malicious code is hidden in a program or file that appears useful, interesting, or harmless. Popular examples are video codecs that some sites require to view online videos. When the codec is installed, it may also install spyware or other malicious software.

What is Vundo / Virtumonde Virus?

Since I’ve started blogging about Win32 Removal I have been getting a lot of comments about the Virtumonde virus so I thought I would start a series of posts describing in detail what this virus is and the many ways to get rid of it.

Although many people know it as the Virtumonde virus, that is just one subset of the family of virus’ called Vundo. Here is the description straight from Wikipedia “Vundo, or the Vundo Trojan (also known as Virtumonde or Virtumondo and sometimes referred to as MS Juan) is a Trojan horse that is known to cause popups and advertising for rogue antispyware programs, and sporadically other misbehavior including performance degradation and denial of service with some websites including Google.”

How do you know you have the Vundo virus?

Typically you know you have this virus if you are getting strange pop ups. The virus will cause your browser to generate pop up ads and tricky alerts in hopes that you will click on them. The most dasterdly ones try to simulate virus warning alerts claiming that you have been infected with a virus and that you need to buy some software to get rid of it. The fact is you HAVE been infected with a virus but buying the software that is recommended with do nothing to remove the Vundo virus that’s causing the pop ups. Some of the best known advertisements from the vundo virus are for WinFixer, Antispyware Master, Storage Protector, and Sysprotect which are all fake virus protection software. So Evil!!

Another telltale sign is that the desktop or screensaver gets changed without the users knowledge. Again this may be a trick to get you to buy something because one of the things this virus does is change your background or screensaver to a Windows blue screen. If the user doesn’t fall for it and goes into the control panel to change it back the virus may have removed this possibility by editing the registry entry for these panels.

Win32 Virus sent as an ECARD! Beware.

You think you are getting a fun and friendly ecard from someone you know but when you open it…. BAM you’ve been infected. Yes, it’s been a trick of virus promoters for some time and virus protection software has gotten pretty good at detecting it but spammers and hackers are always trying new things. Instead of sending the virus as an attachment or an embedded link they are doing  it now as plain text which isn’t filtered out. Most web-based email readers convert this plain text to a link on the client side.

Win32 Removal of trojan-downloader.win32.agent (ZLOB)

I am posting this video with some hesitation. It is a VERY involved and detailed video and can cause the casual computer user a LOT of frustration. In my opinion purchasing a good Win32 removal software is an easier way to go but what I do like about it is that it gives you a real look at what we all had to do before we had software to help us out. Many times I still do this type of trojan removal simply because I have A LOT of experience and I’m comfortable with it.

Watch the video BUT…. don’t try this at home:
