cleaning Win32/AutoRun.Agent.BE

So yeah, I got my first worm in quite a while, the awesome and overall cute Win32/AutoRun.Agent.BE. But I also got a piece of wisdom from cleaning it – make sure you never download any software from sources you aren’t 100% sure of. That includes torrent trackers, dc++, any other p2p interface, random [free] download websites and so on.
As I said, my PC, the mighty Shoarec, has caught a nasty case of Win32/AutoRun.Agent.BE and I had a bit of trouble cleaning it. Google adviced me to different methods to get rid of it but none actually worked so now I will post here the best way to get rid of it without much headache. For me it went pretty much like this: nod32 detected the worm as soon as it was in my system but didn’t manage to actually get me rid of it.
This is how I cleaned it, step by step:

#1: Downloaded and installed the Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware software. It’s free for scanning and cleaning, you can get it from here. It’ll detect the worm and delete some of its parts.

#2: If you check in [My Computer] at this point you will still notice that the drive’s default action is Autoplay instead of Open. You shouldn’t double click the drive or use the autoplay option at any time! That’s definitely not good. Now you need to get those pesky “autorun.inf” files out in the open, to do that you will type in Run “attrib c:\autorun.inf -r -h -s”, it’will remove the attributes for the autorun.inf file found in the root C:\ drive. Replace C: with D:, E: etc. to remove the attributes for the file on all of your drives..

#3: Delete C:\autorun.inf, D:\autorun.inf and so on.

#4: Reboot.

#5: Run MBAM again to make sure the worm is gone.

There you go, now the worm is gone and your drives should again behave properly.

PS: Have a happy New Year. I will.

Thanks,
The management.

aleator. random. gelegentlich. aléatoire.

In primul si in primul rand. Tricky sacseaza live, nu canta trip-hop ci un fel de rock si singurul motiv pen’care pot sa spun ca mi-a placut un pic doar pentru ca ritmurile alerte ma atrag instinctiv.
In al doilea rand, sunt la munca si sunt plictisit. Bine ca exista plecatul acasa – soon.
In al treilea rand, tre’ sa ma duc sa iau cozonaci si mi-e lene. Bine ca exista taxiuri.
In al patrulea rand, o sa lenevesc foarte mult in urmatoarele doua saptamani.
In al cincilea rand, sunt al dracu’ de curios in legatura cu ce primesc de craciun. Bine ca pot macar sa incerc sa arunc un ochi. *ranjet caracteristic*
In al saselea rand, mi-e bine. Mi-e chiar [bine].
In al saptelea rand, am chef sa joc heroes 3.
In al optulea rand, de abia astept sa ajung acasa in seara asta, am sentimentul ca asta e rezolvarea oricarei probleme sau stari de plictiseala pe care as incerca-o la un moment dat.
In al noualea rand, imi plac colindele romanesti. Azi ne-au venit colindatori in birou, un cor/ansamblu/cum dracu’ s-o numi de 6 oameni, au cantat chestii romanesti si mi-a facut placere sa ii ascult.
In al zecelea rand, rontsai fistic si in tastatura mea se vad cateva cojitse. Oh well, o sa o scutur pana de revelion. A, sau nu, nu o sa o scutur pana de revelion, promit ca o sa fac si gestul asta pana la paste.
In al zecelea rand,
Thanks,
The management.
