How Remove AlCan.B Worm?

N

-Nisko-

I ran Microsoft's Malicious Software Recovery Tool and it found AlCan.B.
Message said it removed PART of it - but not all. I found only one place on
the 'net that gave instructions on how to manually remove it
(www.scanspyware.com). Followed the instructions - then ran MS's Tool
again. Got the same message - remnants remain. Does anyone know how to
remove this worm?

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

Will try this in a little while. Thanks. I looked for the Registry
entries that agobot-s was supposed to have - but didn't find them.
However, all the AV and Spyware programs seem to find different things -
so, no harm in having an arsenal when trying to find a problem.
