Security scanner what's in touch. VK page protection
A characteristic sign is that when you enter the site, a page opens in which something like this is written:
New methods to combat spam and anonymous registrations. Due to the numerous registration of anonymous questionnaires, and the active rise in the level of spam mailings, now each profile is subject to mandatory activation. Send SMS and so on. This is a scammer.
What to do?
There may be several reasons.
1. C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - check this document (open with notepad), if there is mention of VKontakte (vkontakte.ru) - delete these lines.
(WARNING: You must be an administrator of the computer).
2. If you have a vkontakte.exe or VK.exe file on your hard drive, delete it.
To find these files, click Start->find->files and folders, enter the names of the files in the search bar.
3. Check your computer for viruses.
In any case, then change the passwords from mailbox and from VKontakte.
VKontakte never requires any activation of user pages. Never install "add-ons" for the site.
Win32.HLLW.AntiDurov virus
The real epidemic broke out in May.
Machines infected with this new plague begin to send other Vkontakte users a link to a harmless-looking jpeg-picture lying on the attacker's Internet resource. In fact, the server sends the “deti.scr” executable file through this link, which, in fact, is a network virus itself.
After launching on the victim's computer, the worm saves on the disk the image itself, which the careless user has fallen for, and launches a standard application used in the system to view .jpeg files. After copying itself to a folder on the victim’s computer hard drive under the name svc.exe, the alien is installed in the system as a service “Durov VKontakte Service” and unceremoniously rummages through the boxes in search of a password to access the Vkontakte website, and when it finds it, it sends it to the entire list contacts the poor fellow the above link. The worm carries a dangerous destructive function. On the 25th of each month at 10 am, the following message will be displayed on the computer screen (spelling preserved):
Pavel Durov While working with VKontakte.RU, you have never raised your rating and therefore we have not received any profit from you. For this your computer will be destroyed!
If you contact the police, you will greatly regret it!
At the same time, deletion of all files from the C: drive will begin. If the user reads long enough given text and indulge in reflections on its content, he risks losing not only everything system files, but also their data files - documents, photos, emails and much more.
What to do
The original recipe is located on the VKontakte website itself, but most likely you don’t have access there, so we give it here in full.
To remove the virus, you can use the batch file
Save it to disk and run.
If you are not sure about the results of the script, use the following instructions:
1. Open the console " Services". To do this, follow the following path: " Start" > "Control Panel" > "Administration" > "Services"
2. In the window that opens, find the service " Durov Vkontakte Service", and open the properties window by double-clicking on the line
3. Remember the service name ( AntiDurov) and the path to executable file(V this example - C:Documents and SettingsalexanderApplication DataVkontakte)
4. Open Task Manager by simultaneously pressing the keys CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, and on the tab " Processes"find processes named svc.exe
5. End these processes by highlighting them one by one and pressing the " End Process". Close Task Manager.
6. Open the command line: for this, in the window " Start" > "Run..."dial" cmd" and press Enter
7. In the window command line type " sc delete AntiDurov" (the last word should match the service name you remember) and press Enter
8. By going to the console window " Services", make sure the service " Durov Vkontakte Service" missing (pre-refresh the contents of the window by clicking F5
9. Open " My computer" and in the address bar enter the path to the executable file from step 3. ( without the name of the svc.exe file itself!) Click Enter.
10. In the window that opens, select and delete the svc.exe file by clicking SHIFT+DELETE
P.S.: if you have not found such a service, but it seems to you that the virus still exists, try to find it through the search:
Start> Search> "What do you want to find: files and folders", in field " Part of the filename..."enter" svc.exe", V " additional options" mark the first three items (in system folders, in hidden folders, nested folders)
If no file with the same name is found ( exactly with that name, files like "cisvc", "svchost" do not count), then most likely there is no virus.
If the file is found, make sure that it is not running processes (see steps 4 and 5), then delete the file by selecting it in the search results window and clicking SHIFT+DELETE.
P.S.
