W32/Kriz.3862
Virus Characteristics
|
This is Windows 95/98 and NT virus that infects PE EXE files. It is also polymorphic. When an infected file is executed, this virus will stay resident in memory until the next time the system is ebooted. This virus encrypts its code, leaving only a small random decryptor. This virus will infect files as they are opened by any application while it is in memory. This will occur when a user scans files as well. The virus also has a payload which activates when an infected file is run on December 25th. When it does it will attempt To erase the computer's CMOS information, which contains information such as date and time, and the type of hard disk the computer uses. This virus will also attempt to directly erase disk sectors. It will attempt to flash the BIOS with garbage. This only works on certain types of BIOSes. If this succeeds, the computer will not boot. This is similar to the action taken by the CIH virus. If the virus is successful the computer will not boot up, not even from a floppy disk. In some cases the virus will corrupt the file it infects and cleaning may not be possible. This virus will infect kernel32.dll. When it does, it replaces the original contents with it owns. Because of this the file can NOT be repaired, it must be replaced. This virus code also contains a poem that contains quite a bit of profanity. It is never displayed, nor is it used in any of the routines it runs. Indications Of Infection Method Of Infection The virus then creates the file WINDOWS\WININIT.INI containing the lines :- [rename]
In the infected copy of KERNEL32.DLL the virus hooks the following functions :- CopyFileA, CopyFileW, CreateFileA, CreateFileW,
CreateProcessA,
This causes any PE executable file that is run, copied, moved or scanned to be infected by the virus. | ||||||||
