P2P Exclude settings? Worms entry?
« on: September 26, 2012, 04:08:44 AM »
Hi,

Recently I had a virus/worm that was sniffing my FTP. This seriously infected some of the web pages I manage.  Avast did not detect (I am on the pay version). I did not identify anything until I installed and ran Maleworms.

However, I have no intentions running 2 software so I am fine with Avast. What can be wrong with my installation?

Now I wonder how I could have maleware running on my PC when I have all Avast functions running?

Then I browsed trough a little deeper and found some exlude filters which are poopulated already. How do I know what belongs there or not? Pressume a virus could make excludes itself? Please note I have not touched my filters.

Current P2P exclude filter below:

Honestly iv never heard of Maleworms or Malworms so you might have to supply a bit more information, do you mean Malwarebytes ?

Also the exclusions you have there in P2P are all default so best not to touch them.

Hi, Yes, Malewarebytes :)

How do I know I have a worm....

The only websites I have that got infected where the last few I FTP to. Non of the older sites with stored user data in was infected fortunately. A dozen of other signs but lets not focus on that.

@NilleUd,

Break that url like hxtp ..

@Pondus

Good analysis, this site has packer code flagged: huahin-vikings dot com/wp-content/plugins/flipping-team/jquery.flip.min.js?ver=3.4.2
WP software needs updating...spam related issues - spam campaign malware distributed...
It is a redirecting trojan....read this about this malcode there: https://www.badwarebusters.org/main/itemview/28392
harvesters and spammers in the IP range....http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_69.194.199.76
Furthermore the site suffers from an error ->  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-flipping-team-activation-error
That is about it for the additional website issues, my friends,

greetings,

polonus

Thanks for replies. Lets see if I can remove it.

Regarding my PC I still don't know what it was or if its still there. Avast did not detect it. Malewarebytes detected 3 possible which I removed. Guess I will not find out until I have FTP next time.

As mentioned now i focus on cleaning the infected websites.
