Img807.zip or MsnPoopy

Yesterday I was receiving some innocuous looking file transfer requests from my friends in MSN Messenger. File was Img807.zip with message like

Did you take this picture?
is that you on the left?
How drunk was I in this picture?
Is that your mom in this picture?
lol, your mom just sent me this picture?


Zip contains a file img807.jpg-www.photoalbums.com which seems like a url. This was actually a worm!

I have written a small removal tool. You can get it here.

It seems to be a variant of worm MsnPoopy.A.

Quick analysis shows that.
1. It creates a batch file c:\a.bat (deleted later) to execute the worm.

2. Stops “Security Center” and any running VNC servers (net1 stop winvnc4)

3. Creates two files c:\windows\vpcrtf.exe and c:\windows\img807.zip. The original .com file and the vpcrtf.exe is same files (MD5 7299c5d5d5761779dfedfbd3808c8ed8)

4. Modifies IE Security Zonemaps and resets IE BypassProxy to enabled. (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap)

5. Creates a startup entry named “Microsoft Visual Application” at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

6. Creates connection to 85.114.143.159 (chat2.ms.com). Excerpt of the TCP stream shows it is creating a chat session to that server with a random name.

Text like this was found inside the exe.

Hey julyap, I have been noticing many other variants of this virus lately. I'll update when i get time.
For now
1) Check with taskmanager if a process 'regsrv.exe' is running. Kill it.
2) Remove file (c:\windows\system32\regsrv.exe)if exists, which is mimicking the genuine file regsrv32.exe
3) Clear IE temporary files.

4) Use Process Explorer to see if any other suspicious processes are running (look for 'Company Name' of those processes).
