It sends the gathered information via HTTP POST to the following URL:
- http://{BLOCKED}irates.com/imgs/smiles/cgibin/gate.php
Other Details
This spyware checks for the presence of the following processes which are related to Outpost Personal Firewall and ZoneLabs Firewall Client:
- outpost.exe
- zlclient.exe
It terminates if either of the said processes exist. This is to ensure that it runs uninterrupted. It also has rootkit capabilities, which enables it to hide its processes and files from the user.
Variant Information
This spyware has the following MD5 hashes:
- 9f448cdd0cdec13a5b5b0d49cffbad39
- d5199359c53678314f474d82ff6f107e
It has the following SHA1 hashes:
- f7ba4573a4b164837731ec5584b12aef3ef6bfb3
- 23db1936f339c26a9ea95db59849836a200f0d64
SOLUTION
Step 1
Before doing any scans, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 users must disable System Restore to allow full scanning of their computers.
Step 2
Identify and delete files detected as TSPY_ZBOT.SMZG using the Recovery Console
Step 3
Restore these modified registry values
Important:Editing the Windows Registry incorrectly can lead to irreversible system malfunction. Please do this only if you know how to or you can seek your system administrator's help. You may also check out this Microsoft article first before modifying your computer's registry.
- In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- From: Userinit = %System%\userinit.exe, %System%\sdra64.exe,
To: Userinit = %System%\userinit.exe,
- From: Userinit = %System%\userinit.exe, %System%\sdra64.exe,
Step 4
Delete this registry value
Important: Editing the Windows Registry incorrectly can lead to irreversible system malfunction. Please do this step only if you know how or you can ask assistance from your system administrator. Else, check this Microsoft article first before modifying your computer's registry.
- In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Network
- UID = {Computer name}_{Random numbers}
- UID = {Computer name}_{Random numbers}
- In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\ FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile
- EnableFirewall = 0
Step 5
Search and delete this folder
- %System%\lowsec
Step 6
Restart in normal mode and scan your computer with your Trend Micro product for files detected as TSPY_ZBOT.SMZG. If the detected files have already been cleaned, deleted, or quarantined by your Trend Micro product, no further step is required. You may opt to simply delete the quarantined files. Please check this Knowledge Base page for more information.
