Hi shrawan32,

This could be part of the so-called "ZeroAccess", 64-bit rootkit dropper.You could have been infected because your Adobe or java software is not fully updated, check with secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/

For the malware to be cleansed I asked essexboy to come and have a look here,

Looks like it may be a reincarnation of max++ haven't seen that in a while

To ensure that I get all the information this log will need to be attached (instructions at the end) if it is to large to attach then upload to Mediafire and post the sharing link.

Download OTS  to your Desktop
  • Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
  • Double-click on OTS.exe to start the program.
  • Check the box that says Scan All Users
  • Under Additional Scans check the following:
Reg - Disabled MS Config Items
Reg - Drivers32
Reg - NetSvcs
Reg - SafeBoot Minimal
Reg - Shell Spawning
Evnt - EventViewer Logs (Last 10 Errors)
File - Lop Check

  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
volsnap.*
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
/md5stop
%systemroot%\*. /mp /s
hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /rs
hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /64 /rs
CREATERESTOREPOINT


  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
  • Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
Please attach the log in your next post.

Hi Pondus,

Not if I and essexboy consider this to be excluded first:
http://www.dataprotectioncenter.com/antivirus/kaspersky/max-sets-its-sights-on-x64-platforms/
and
http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/zeroaccess-rootkit-latest-line-x64-malware-appear-052411
There this dll is the body of the dropper. Could also be part of the Google-redirect misery as the victim experiences reboot problems, as an unknown (unsigned dll) process in taskmanager it can be easily been adopted to perform as part of malware, then conserv.dll may appear to be a normal process, but it is not.
Do you think this is a FP? I would certainly not: http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=5611fddc5046fce5bbd4d1c1779df429a217b1f952ec973059f7c67e4dfdd46f-1310865513

No Left123,

No but you gave the same link as Dim@rik. But the info all touches the same dropper. Let's wait for essexboy to perform his cleansing routines on this new max++ malcreation,
