rundli32.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:

rundli32.exe
It appears when you infected with the LADE VIRUS.

W32.Lade is a worm that spread itself through IRC.
It attempts to remove antivirus software installed on the PC and may attempt to format the hard drive partitions C, D, E, F, and G at system restart.
Also Known as Backdoor.IRC.Lade

W32.Lade performs the following actions:
1. Drops a copy of itself to %Windir%\System\rundli32.exe.
NOTE: %Windir% is a variable. The worm locates the Windows installation folder (by default, this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and copies itself to that location.

2. Checks whether mIRC is installed, and if found, drops its own version of Script.ini, which contains code to spread itself by mIRC, to the mIRC folder.

3. Drops the batch file, %Windir%\Winstart.bat, which contains code to remove antivirus software when you restart the computer.

4. Adds values for "w32.BeanLadean.B.worm" to the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\

to the registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

6. May edit the C:\Autoexec.bat to attempt to format hard drive partitions C, D, E, F, and G at system restart, depending on circumstances.
