WORM_MEYLME.B Behavior Diagram

Malware Overview

This worm arrives via removable drives. It may be downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting certain malicious Web sites.

When executed, it deletes files. As a result, programs and applications may not run properly. It also deletes registry keys.

It propagates via email. It uses Messaging Application Protocol Interface (MAPI) to send email messages with a copy of itself as attachment.

It drops copies of itself in all removable drives to propagate via removable drives. It drops an AUTORUN.INF file to automatically execute dropped copies when the drives are accessed.

It also drops a copy of itself in network shares using a VB script detected by Trend Micro as VBS_MYELME.B.

It deletes itself after execution.

Solution:
Important Windows XP Cleaning Instructions

Users running Windows XP must disable System Restore to allow full scanning of infected computers.

Users running other Windows versions can proceed with the succeeding solution set(s).

Note: To fully remove all associated malware, perform the clean solution for VBS_MEYLME.B.

Identifying the Malware Files

  1. Scan your computer with your Trend Micro antivirus product.
  2. Note the path and file name of all files detected as WORM_MEYLME.B.

Trend Micro customers need to download the latest virus pattern file before scanning their computer. Other users can use Housecall, the Trend Micro online threat scanner.

Terminating the Malware Process

This procedure terminates the running malware process. You will need the name(s) of the file(s) detected earlier.

  1. Open Windows Task Manager. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, then click the Processes tab.
  2. In the list of running programs*, locate the malware file(s) detected earlier.
  3. Select one of the detected files, then press either the End Task or the End Process button, depending on the version of Windows on your computer.
  4. Do the same for all detected malware files in the list of running processes.
  5. To check if the malware process has been terminated, close Task Manager, and then open it again.
  6. Close Task Manager.

*NOTE: If the process you are looking for is not in the list displayed by Task Manager or Process Explorer, continue with the next solution procedure. If the malware process is in the list displayed by either Task Manager or Process Explorer, but you are unable to terminate it, restart your computer in safe mode.

Propagation via Email

This worm gathers email addresses from Microsoft Outlook contacts and uses Messaging Application Protocol Interface (MAPI) to send email messages with a link to a copy of itself. The email messages it sends out bear the following details:

Subject: (any of the following)
• Just for you
• Here you have

Message body:
Hello:

This is The Document I told you about,you can find it Here. http://www.{BLOCKED}ocuments.com/library/PDF_Document21.025542010.pdf
Please check it and reply as soon as possible.

Cheers,

It can also gather email addresses from the Yahoo! contacts and uses the SendEmail tool to send an email with the following details:

Subject: hi

Message body:
Hello:

This is The Free Dowload Sex Movies, you can find it Here.

http://www.{BLOCKED}movies.com/library/SEX21.023342010.wmv

Enjoy your time.

Cheers,

It makes use of Gmail as its SMTP server to send the above email using the following user name and password pairs as credentials:

UPass one:

  • SMTPUsername: {BLOCKED}taylor2003
  • SMTPPassword: {BLOCKED}1984

UPass two:

  • SMTPUsername: {BLOCKED}e.brain
  • SMTPPassword: {BLOCKED}fm

Both the links mentioned in these emails lead to http://{BLOCKED}s.multimania.co.uk/yahoophoto/PDF_Document21_025542010_pdf.scr.

Propagation via Physical/Removable/Floppy Drives

This worm drops copies of itself in all removable drives.

It drops an AUTORUN.INF file to automatically execute dropped copies when the drives are accessed. The said .INF file contains the following strings:

[AutoRun]
open=open.exe
icon=%System%\shell32.dll,8
action=Open Drive to view files
shell\open=Open
shell\open\command=open.exe
shell\open\default=1

Propagation via Network Shares

This worm uses a VB script, found in the malware code, to list down all the users in the network and drops a copy of itself as N73.Image12.03.2009.JPG.scr or {computer_name} CV 2010.exe in drives C to H.

A copy is also dropped in shared folders, specifically the following:

  • New Folder
  • music
  • print

It forces the %Windows%\system folder to be shared as \\{computer_name}\updates.

The shared folders and drives where the malware drops a copy of itself are enumerated at the following registry entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
{number} = “{folder path}”

Trend Micro detects the aforementioned script as VBS_MEYLME.B.

Other Details

This worm stops and deletes the following services related to antivirus applications:

  • Avast! Antivirus
  • aswUpdSv
  • avast! Mail Scanner
  • avast! Web Scanner
  • AntiVirService
  • AntiVirMailGuard
  • AntiVirSchedulerService
  • McShield
  • AntiVirFirewallService
  • NIS
  • MSK80Service
  • 0053591272669638mcinstcleanup
  • mfefire
  • McNASvc
  • Mc0obeSv
  • McMPFSvc
  • McProxy
  • Mc0DS
  • mcmscsvc
  • McAfee SiteAdvisor Service
  • mfevtp
  • Avgfws9
  • AVG Security Toolbar Service
  • avg9wd
  • AVGIDSAgent
  • PAVFNSVR
  • Gwmsrv
  • PSHost
  • PSIMSVC
  • PAVSRV
  • PavPrSrv
  • PskSvcRetail
  • Panda Software Controller
  • TPSrv

  • TmProxy
  • TMBMServer
  • Arrakis3
  • LIVESRV
  • scan
  • VSSERV
  • sdAuxService
  • sdCoreService
  • AVP

This disables antivirus applications, which in turn renders the affected system unprotected from threats.

It also terminates the following processes if found running in the system:

  • Usbguard.exe
  • CPE17AntiAutoruna.exe
  • outlook.exe

It attempts to access URLs to download files. Based from this worm’s code, the files are saved as the following:

  • %System%\SendEmail.dll
  • %Windows%\tryme1.exe
  • %Windows%\ff.exe
  • %Windows%\gc.exe
  • %Windows%\ie.exe
  • %Windows%\im.exe
  • %Windows%\op.exe
  • %Windows%\pspv.exe
  • %Windows%\rd.exe
  • %Windows%\re.exe

These are mostly networking and password utilities.

However, as of this writing, the URLs it attempts to access are inaccessible.

Affected Platforms

This worm runs on Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003.

Why You should remove spyware, malware and viruses from your PC?

Trojan horses are designed to allow a hacker remote access to a target computer system. Once a Trojan horse has been installed on a target computer system, it is possible for a hacker to access it remotely and perform various operations. The operations that a hacker can perform are limited by user privileges on the target computer system and the design of the Trojan horse.

Antivirus software is designed to detect and delete Trojan horses, as well as preventing them from ever being installed. Although it is possible to remove a Trojan horse manually, it requires a full understanding of how that particular Trojan horse operates. In addition, if a Trojan horse has possibly been used by a hacker to access a computer system, it will be difficult to know what damage has been done and what other problems have been introduced. In situations where the security of the computer system is critical, it is advisable to simply erase all data from the hard disk and reinstall the operating system and required software.
