Remove Kavo virus aka Trojan.Packed.NsAnti
Introduction :
Recently a collegue of mine ask me to fix her external harddisk after virus infection that left residues auto files. But her laptop caught the infection and Symantec were not very successful in removing it due to its characterics.
Trojan.Packed.NsAnti or Better known as Kavo is a virus is created with a packer tool that compresses, encrypts or obfuscates Windows PE files. Malware authors often use packers to conceal threats from detection by antivirus software. Trojan.Packed.NsAnti detects a packer that is not known to be used for legitimate purposes.
Enviroment :
Microsoft Windows
Installation / Usage :
1. Download “Kavo Killer” from this Taiwan site [LINK]
2. Because the application was code in Chinese, the character might not show.
3.
The application screen, there is only a button. It basically say “Begin Disinfection“.
4. Click on the button and when done, it would pop up another dialog.
What Kavo Killer does under the hood is deleting files such as autorun.inf and ntdelect.com on hard drive and USB drive. Kavo Killer also enable back the registry entry that disable showing of hidden files.
* After using Kavo Killer on the machine, suggested to goto Windows Safe Mode and do a Full System Scan with your antivirus.
Now moving back the external hard drive that all has the infection, located on each invidual root folder I found
autorun.inf
uxkktr.cmd
vva0hc0p.cmd
Contain of autorun.inf :

I deleted all those and the folder were disinfected. Please note that I’m using Ubuntu to delete the files, so there is no danger of file running accidentally.
