I was surprised that my most reliable friend Avast, for the first time
failed me in this war against viruses but then again avg and bitdiffender also
failed against it. This virus is know popularly as regsvr.exe virus, or as new
folder.exe virus and most people identify this one by seeing autorun.inf file on
their pen drives, But trend micro identified it as WORM_DELF.FKZ. It is spreading
mostly using pen drives as the medium.

New folder.exe virus

Well, so here is the story of how i was able to kill the monster and reclaim my
hard disk space.

Manual Process of removal

I prefer manual process simply because it gives me option to learn new things in
the process.

So let�s start the process off reclaiming the turf that virus took over from us.

1. Cut The Supply Line

1. Search for autorun.inf file. It is a read only file so you will have
to change it to normal by right clicking the file , selecting the properties and
un-check the read only option
2. Open the file in notepad and delete everything and save the file.
3. Now change the file status back to read only mode so that the virus
could not get access again.
4. Autorun
5. Click start->run and type msconfig and click ok
6. Go to startup tab look for regsvr and uncheck the option click OK.
7. Click on Exit without Restart, cause there are still few things we
need to do before we can restart the PC.
8. Now go to control panel -> scheduled tasks, and delete the At1 task
listed their.
2. Open The Gates Of Castle
1. Click on start -> run and type gpedit.msc and click Ok.
2.
3. If you are Windows XP Home Edition user you might not have gpedit.msc
in that case download and install it from Windows XP Home Edition: gpedit.msc and
then follow these steps.
4. Go to users configuration->Administrative templates->system
5. Find �prevent access to registry editing tools� and change the option
to disable.
6. Opening the gate of castle: Group Edit Policies
7. Once you do this you have registry access back.
3. Launch The Attack At Heart Of Castle
1. Click on start->run and type regedit and click ok
2. Go to edit->find and start the search for regsvr.exe,
3. Launch the attack in the heart of castle: registry search
4. Delete all the occurrence of regsvr.exe; remember to take a backup
before deleting. KEEP IN MIND regsvr32.exe is not to be deleted. Delete regsvr.exe
occurrences only.
5. At one ore two places you will find it after explorer.exe in theses
cases only delete the regsvr.exe part and not the whole part. E.g. Shell =
�Explorer.exe regsvr.exe� the just delete the regsvr.exe and leave the
explorer.exe
4. Seek And Destroy the enemy soldiers, no one should be left behind
1. Click on start->search->for files and folders.
2. Their click all files and folders
3. Type �*.exe� as filename to search for
4. Click on �when was it modified � option and select the specify date
option
5. Type from date as 1/31/2008 and also type To date as 1/31/2008
6. Seek and destory enemy soldiers: the search option
7. Now hit search and wait for all the exe�s to show up.
8. Once search is over select all the exe files and shift+delete the
files, caution must be taken so that you don�t delete the legitimate exe file that
you have installed on 31st January.
9. Also selecting lot of files together might make your computer
unresponsive so delete them in small bunches.
10. Also find and delete regsvr.exe, svchost .exe( notice an extra space
between the svchost and .exe)
5. Time For Celebrations
1. Now do a cold reboot (ie press the reboot button instead) and you are
done.

I hope this information helps you win your own battle against this virus. Soon all
antivirus programs will be able to automatically detect and clean this virus. Also
i hope Avast finds a way to solve this issues.

As a side note i have found a little back dog( winpatrol ) that used to work
perfectly on my old system. It was not their in my new PC, I have installed it
again , as I want to stay ahead by forever closing the supply line of these virus.
You can download it form Winpatrol website.
