1. [OT] oh b*****ks, a trojan, I think
Help! , <question at end>
Every time I boot my computer, it says:
A required .DLL file, MSVBVM60.DLL, was not found.
[OK]
Click on OK (no real choice) and everything is fine.
Of course I've scanned with the usual av, nothing shows.
Can't find anything in my startup/registry.
I've tried to attach a debugger to this, to see if I can find out what
it is that is running, but just that act causes a reboot. Which partly
sounds like some novice script kiddie got some proper virus code and
bolted some of their VB onto it and partly like someone real smart who
knows just how hard it can be to dissassemble/debug VB (and/or is
trying to wipe VB from the face of the earth).
Now, the very last thing I will ever, ever do is go hunt for that dll
and install it to see what mayhem this thing might do!
QUESTION: can I scan, myself, through .exes/registry entries/whatever
to find something that needs MSVBVM60.DLL? (And yes, I'm talking about
an Eu program to do that)
Any tips appreciated,
Pete

Hi Pete,
Msvbvm60.dll - (Microsoft Visual Basic Virtual Machine) This file contains all
intrinsic controls and functions necessary for any Visual Basic application to
run.
Did you try to run a rootkit revealer on you machine?
You can download a free one on www.sysinternals.com
