New Virus ( Uodpxwnobn.vbs) Undetected By Bitdefender

veroxious

Hi,

Last week I discovered a new virus on a relative's computer that has Bitdefender Anti Virus 2013 installed and operational.

The virus is a VB ****** file called uodpxwnobn.vbs. When scanning the directory that the virus resides in Bitdefender finds no viruses or even warnings. I noticed it when looking at a flash drive attached to the computer that the relative was complaining about. Ofcourse deleting the file does not work as it re-creates itself.

I managed to remove all instances of it by booting Windows 7 in safe mode and then doing a search and deleting all instances the search found. In addition I also had to run regedit and delete all instances of it in the registry.

The strange thing about it is I could not get rid of it on the flash drive even after a full format of the flash drive. Checking the contents in windows explorer after formatting the drive shows there are no files but doing a search in Windows Explorer shows the virus is still there!!! As I was not willing to take any chances I crushed the flash drive and disposed of it.

The other weird thing about this virus is doing a google search on it yields 0 (zero) results. It seems nobody knows about it? This is making me worried.

Is this the correct forum to raise this issue?

Thanks

The file name is probably randomized and that's why you can't find anything about it. There isn't really much anyone can do without the file itself and undetected malware isn't something that uncommon. A simple file crypter a 12y old kid could use along with a known RAT like Dark Comet is enough to have an undetected piece of malware capable of inflictin serious damage.
