How to Clean the SIRCAM/Recycled Virus?

Monday, November 26th, 2007

This is bad, when I check my PC in this morning, my Windows XP invected by SIRCAM/Recycled Virurs, I try to find how clean this dam problem. After I googling, I found some tutorial. And this is the results.

First Tutorial

1. Go to command prompt.
2. Type CD\ in drive C to go the root directory
3. Type DIR /AH and press ENTER key. This will display all hidden files in your drive C
4. If you see a file AUTORUN.INF and a folder Recycled, then your system is infected.
5. Try doing this to your USB drive and check if your USB stick contains the same folder and AUTORUN.INF, if it does then your system is really infected.

To remove it download and install a trial version of Trendmicro and scan your system.

To manually remove it follow the following steps (This is the step I take when i repair my computer without an internet connection. Note you should understand what you’re about to do, you try it at your own risk!)

1. Boot your system in Safemode
2. Go to command prompt, in Drive C do the following commands.
3. Type -> ATTRIB -H -R -S AUTORUN.INF then press enter
4. Type -> DEL AUTORUN.INF then press enter
5. Type -> ATTRIB -H -R -S Recycled then press enter
6. In Windows Explorer in Safemode, remove the folder Recycled in drive C use Shift-Delete to delete the folder.
7. Repeat Step 3 to 6 for all drives of your system including the USB drive.
8. Search for CTFMON.EXE in your system using the Search of Windows found in Start Menu. If you find a file that is not located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, delete it immediately. Dont forget to empty the recycle bin afterwards (Usually the virus will copy itself in the Startup folder of the Startmenu. Check if the file is present there and delete it then.)

To disable autorun of drives (i.e. everytime you double-click a drive or cd or usb, it is auto open) follow the following step:

1. Click Start->Run->type REGEDIT.EXE
2. Go to this key from the register HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Look for the entry NoDriveTypeAutoRun, double click the entry
4. Type a new value : 03ffffff for the NoDriveTypeAutoRun and press ENTER
5. Reboot the system.

Each years, me and my wife spending money to buy new boots to replaces my old boots or just to add my new collections and some times we buy it for a gifts to my cousins, family or some friends, like we all know, almost each days there are new design. So, I really enjoyed when we are Hunting Boots and choose what’s we like. There are a lot of way to finding boots, but my favorite ways is search and shopping online.

Why Online? if we buys something online, such a boots, we have better information. The detail in each product and of course we doesn’t need to go anywhere. Just stay it at home and the order will come. My favourite activities is doing some hiking. So I will need some hiking boots too, too make my online shopping more confortable and enjoyable we need some discount right? if you buys from metboots.com and purchased more than 100$ you will get free shipping. I think it a good deal.
