RE: Method to Clean up IIS servers hit by CRv2

As far as we can tell, there are some significant registry changes made by
the program. 

1.  SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SFCDisable is set
to 0FFFFFF9Dh.  It should be set back to zero.  This is an undocumented
registry setting allows for Windows File Protection to be fully disabled.  A
value of 0 enables file protection.

2.  SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\VirtualRoots\Scripts
is set at 217.  We believe the original settings to be 204.

3.  SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\VirtualRoots\msadc is
set at 217.  We believe the original settings to be 205.

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\VirtualRoots\c and
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\VirtualRoots\d do not
appear at all and should most likely be deleted.  We believe that these
facilitate the virtual web root that is created by the rootkit.  

The natural problem with Trojans is . . . how do you know if this Trojan was
used to deposit another?

Subject: Method to Clean up IIS servers hit by CRv2


Hey folks,  Isn't this fun? (har..)

So what are people doing to clean out IIS servers hit by CRv2?

So far I've been doing the following:

1. Patch the server.

2. Remove root.exe from the web directories.

3. Remove explorer.exe from c: and/or d:

4. reboot.

My main question is do you need to mess with the registry keys that it
alters? Are these reset on reboot or do you need to set them to some
value? If so what values? Or delete them all together?

Thanks,
dmuz
