services.exe - Dangerous
%windir%\services.exe
Jeff's Story:
My PC had gotten a bad rootkit that my ISP antivirus software (powered by McAfee) could not detect, nor could fix.
I sought a solution on the Internet and discovered your product and tried out the trial.
You quickly found the rootkit and SAVED my PC!
I haven't had any problems since, and I'm extremely grateful.
Manual removal instructions:
This worm spreads via the Internet as a file attached to infected emails.
Once launched, the worm displays a false error message on the screen: 'The file could not be opened'.
The worm copies itself to the Windows folder under the name 'services.exe' and adds the key:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"service" = "%windir%\services.exe -serv"
The worm also creates the unique identifier 'AdmSkynetJklS003' to flag its presence in memory.
The worm creates a number of copies of itself in all sub-directories on disks which contain the word 'share' or 'sharing' in the directory name.
The copies will be under names chosen from the predefined list.
The worm finds files with some extensions, searches them for email addresses and sends a copy of itself to the addresses found.
Infected messages have random headers and subject text.
Use RegRun Startup Optimizer to remove this worm.
