First one=SVCHOST.EXE
It looks like Word File, (ref: my previous post).
The file name is *.scr , (ie screen saver file)
It hides your original word document and instead there a *.scr file is created which is of the same name of the word file.
For ex, you create a document Hello.doc and after you write on it and save it, the Hello.doc gets system hidden, and a file named Hello.scr is created which is having the same word icon.
In the administrator account, it makes such a change in registry that you will never be able to login to your account. When you click on your login name it logs in and suddenly logs out.
So, whenever opening word file, right click and check the options.
For virus file, it will be: open,run,run as,test,configure,etc
Once if you get the virus in limited user , never login to your admin. or else , as i said, it makes such a change in registry that you will nerver be able to login again.
Second=spoolsv.exe
the virus writer has done a quite much research on autorun property.
when you insert your pen drive, (if autorun is ON) , it asks for what to do, eg,
open using windows explorer, open using WMP, open using Nero, view photos using some s/w, etc.
but if it has this virus, it will say
“open using software provided on this device”
So, be careful.
After the virus is installed, i found no separte virus process, probably it injects some dlls
I am unable to find the solution yet.
its challenging… hmm…
Third=SHAHROKH.EXE
how come anyone misspell shahrukh khan. its so sad. : )
it creates AUTORUNS.EXE, and EXPLORER.EXE files.
the EXPLORER.EXE file is placed inside c:\windows\system32\ folder.
so, whenevre the comp starts , it doesnt load the genuine window’s EXPLORER.EXE but it runs the virus EXPLORER.EXE program.
This happens because in the “path” system32 directory has higher preference than windows directory…
now i think, y doesnt the windows’s EXPLORER.EXE is not placed in system32 folder.
My semester exams this month, so m going to hibernate, gud bye guys… be in touch.

Robin, follow the steps at http://piyushlabs.wordpress.com/self-troubleshooting-manual-steps-to-kick-out-any-virus/ you will be able to remove it… Delete the Explorer.exe file in C:\windows\system32\explorer.exe (i think it creates this virus file, dont remember…)
The one in C:\windows\explorer.exe is genuine…

Robin,
Sorry i can’t help you because i have never used windows7.
Any antivirus u have, just update it. It should remove the virus, as its about 1 year old virus.
