What to do about the Michael Schumacher virus?
« on: January 07, 2014, 06:00:04 PM »
A video purporting to show amateur footage of the ski accident of Michael Schumacher has been circulating on social media, but the clip – titled "Video: Moment de l'accident de Michael Schumacher! (EXCLUSIF)" – is said to contain a computer virus.

I watched the clip...
The virus is said to get activated as soon as you log in to your bank account.
Which I did also...
The virus is said to hack your login information for your bank account, so criminals can hack your bank account.

Does anybody know anything about this virus and what to do about it?
I can't find an english news item on it. But there are german http://www.mimikama.at/allgemein/michael-schumachers-unfall-auf-video-dahinter-versteckt-dich-ein-trojaner/ and dutch warnings. One german site says other antivirus software recognized the following viruses:

DrWeb
Trojan.Crossrider.9

McAfee
Artemis!1718DCD16DC8

McAfee-GW-Edition
Artemis!1718DCD16DC8

Sophos
Kreapixel

TrendMicro-HouseCall
TROJ_GEN.F47V1214 

Thanks!

Thanks for you help!

OTL did not gave me an Extras.Txt log?

So I attached the MBAM log, the OTL.Txt log and the aswMBR log.

Hi,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Please download DelFix by "Xplode" to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Create registry backup
  • Purge System Restore

Now click on "Run" button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
Tool will create and open an log report (DelFix.txt)
Note: The report will also be stored on C:\DelFix.txt
