Was cleaning up my desktop and moving some files and run upon BAZOOKA malware scanner which had not been updated like for a couple of months. Well, i always been fond of this little proggy ever since it identified some malware that many others didn't quite some time ago. Even though it doesn't remove anything, it certainly is been effective on occasion at "Finding" malware and/or their remains which it just did again today.
After some research and comparing notes i discovered at least 6 leftover malware files including a
kl.exe and
us.exe plus
tool1.exe,2,3,4, and tool5.exe All of which were at 0KB. Back in December when i first got hit it was the
loader.exe that showed up in C:\ folder as KERIO caught the varmint trying to request an outgoing connection.
Apparently quite a few of these found their way to the WINDOWS folder with the exception of a
paytime.exe which landed in SYSTEM32.
BAZOOKA! discovered all these today where Adaware-SE didn't even find a one. So, done some more research and also found out not only does
BAZOOKA target this malware but
COUNTERSPY also!
Says something if you ask me. Here is the reference i found by doing a Google Search on this
searchterror.com exploit. I discovered "some", not all of the exact same files as the Site Admin "OldFrog" points out at his website!
