Can Someone help about these viruses/spywares

XMSS.EXE

Funny UST Scandal.avi.EXE

From Sophos: http://www.sophos.com/security/analy...2sdbotdiq.html

From a Philippines forum UST is University of Sto. Tomas a prestigious
Philippine universty:
http://www.pcx.com.ph/forum/display_...28487&get=last

Some of it is in local language so I had to translate below:

Software used to build the virus= AutoIt V3
drop Files- killer.exe(4084 kb) in c:\windows\
lsass.exe(3920kb) in c:\documents and settings\all users\start
menu\programs\startup
smss.exe(4088kb) in all root drives and in c:\windows
autorun.inf(1kb) in all root drives with a script

[autorun]
open=smss.exe
shell\Open\Command=smss.exe
shell\open\Default=1
shell\Explore\Command=smss.exe
shell\Autoplay\command=smss.exe

Funny UST Scandal.avi.exe(228kb) in all root drives

Registry
Entries-HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon=shell(killer.exe)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\Currentversion\Run=runonce(c:\windows\smss.exe)


HOw to remove this lame virus????

-first download taskiller in http://www.rsdsoft.com/task_killer/index.php4
and install it to
your computer because you cant use taskmanager to terminate the virus(the
virus automatically close taskmanager).

-run taskiller and left click it on the system tray(the one with a skull icon)

-click processes

-to close the virus, select process and click yes to the question

(process to close)
1.killer.exe
2.lsass.exe
3.smss.exe

note: close only file that have the same icon of Funny UST Scandal.avi.exe


CMD STEPS
1-now, click "start" then "run"
2-type "cmd" without quotes
3-type "cd\" without quotes
4-type "attrib -h -s smss.exe" without quotes
5-type "attrib -h -s autorun.inf" without quotes
6-type "start c:" without quotes(a new window will open)
7-select smss.exe,autorun.inf,Funny UST Scandal.avi.exe and delete it

-if theres any drive or a partition type "d:" in command prompt without quotes
"d" is the drive letter then repeat the CMD STEPS number 4-7 above.......

-now type this on the command prompt "cd windows" without quotes(na naman!)
-type "attrib -h -s smss.exe" without quotes(uli)
-type "start c:\windows" without quotes(hay naku!)
-delete the file smss.exe
-now, goto c:\documents and settings\all users\startmenu\programs\startup
-delete lsass.exe

-click "start" then "run"
-type "regedit" without quotes then delete the registry entries above....

Note:
If you have problems opening drives in My Computer open regedit find
"\smss.exe" then erase values like: "c:\smss.exe", "d:\smss.exe" etc..

hi geeks,

this is not related to xp but win2k server sp4.
my issue is; i have win2k server sp4 running and affected by "Funny
UST Scandal.avi.EXE" but as you mentioned the changes in Registry and
file created in root directory (.inf), not in my case.
no such files are there in Startup.
in other case, there is a sub-dir under d:\ drive. i have this virus
here.
i am surprised how do i clean this and i don't know also.
there is no Unknown service starts even, all are os related services
runs.
could you please solve this.
