Summary
The detection P2P-Worm.Win32.Bacteraloh.H refers to files that have been infected by Virus.Win32.Sality.S.
Removal
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
- Check for the latest database updatesFirst, check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
- Submit a sampleAfter checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
- Exclude a file from further scanningIf you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
Technical Details
While active, Sality.S terminates running processes with names associated with common antivirus programs.
Infection
Sality.S is an appending, polymorphic file infector that uses an entry point obscuring technique. During infection, it replaces 129 bytes from the beginning of the host file's code with its decryption routine, then hides the replaced code in its own code. The virus's own code is encrypted and appended to the host file as a new section, with a random name and a size of 28672 bytes.A detailed description of Sality's method of operation is available in the description of Virus.Win32.Sality.Q.
Installation
During installation, Sality.S creates the following files:
- %windir%\system32\wmdrtc32.dl_ - Archived copy of wmdrtc32.dll
- %windir%\system32\wmdrtc32.dll - Detected as Virus.Win32.Sality.S
- %windir%\system32\drivers\ekkkjn.sys - Detected as Virus.Win32.Sality.S
It modifies the file %windir%\system.ini by adding the following:
- [MCIDRV_VER] DEVICE=
In addition, the following is loaded into all processes
- %windir%\system32\wmdrtc32.dll
Registry
Sality.S deletes a large number of registry keys, a small sample of which is listed in this description.
