Antivirus XP 2008 morphs to MS Antivirus to Antivirus VIP

It’s no surprise that rogue security software authors have to get creative when trying to infect as many people as possible.  Especially when we work very hard to keep them exposed.  Among many techniques, they use mutilated domain naming schemes, affiliate system abuse, redirection and almost always the last ditch attempt at improving their infection ratio is morphing.  Remember when we talked about XP Antivirus 2008 morphing to MS Antivirus? Today we detected a new morph in the XP Antivirus series.  Antivirus XP 2008 morphed to MS Antivirus on August 21st and today it morphed to Antivirus VIP.

Rogue Software Removal (VIDEO)

This is a special post that will provide some knowledge on how to remove some of the rogue anti-malware software that has become an epidemic (Antivirus 2008, XP Antivirus, MS Antivirus, etc.). AV companies try their best to keep up to date of all the latest incarnations of this rogue software, but in some cases it can be weeks for your AV to detect these. This will show you how you can remove some of these with free utilities. These instructions may not be that easy for the novice user, but we tried to make it as simple as possible. I will say that this process may not work in EVERY case, however most of the ones we’ve come across can be removed this way. Please be careful when attempting to remove this malware. You do not want to delete the wrong file. Try this at your own risk.

The tools used in this video are Process Explorer and Autoruns both available for free from SysInternals.

Antivirus XP 2008 - Updated Domain List

The IRVL group seems to think that they will go undetected longer by creating a bunch of new domains over the weekend. Pft! They should know by now that we don’t sleep over here. ;)

avxp08

The files currently being distributed have been passed around quite a bit and I expect for the binaries to be changed within the next few days. One of the new domains (hxxp://antivirused.com) already has an updated file (DEFB61DF4D6A187038FC3725EB431FAB) with only a 5/36 detection ratio at VirusTotal.

None of these new domains have the exploit code we talked about here. (at the time of this post)

XP Antivirus 2008 IFRAME update

While stepping through malicious domains I noticed that the “International Virus Research Lab” (IVRL) pages for XP Antivirus 2008 had changed hashes. I was looking at  hxxp://bestantivirus2009.com at the time and noticed the inclusion of an IFRAME pointing to hxxp://huytegygle.com/index.php.

iframe

I took a look at the IFRAME and found the following obfuscated javascript.

obfuscatedjscode

After attempting a few exploits the code eventually leads us to hxxp://huytegygle.com/bin/file.exe which has a low (7/36 and mostly heuristic) detection rate @ VirusTotal.  The file has been made available inside /lithium-malware/.
