W32.Jeefo detection is provided both for the W32.Jeefo stand-alone, first-generation exec infected with W32.Jeefo. W32.Jeefo infects the host application in three steps. The virus: 1. Imports the host's resources. 2. Encrypts data that represents the host application with the stripped resources. 3. Appends this particular data to the newly constructed executable.

If W32.Jeefo detects that it is an infected host application, it will do the following:

1. Reconstruct the first-generation W32.Jeefo executable. 2. Drop it as Svchost.exe (36,352 bytes) into the %Windir% folder. Then, the dropped file will be run with the program parameter that specifies an inf Svchost.exe. 3. It will quit.

When svchost.exe (the first-generation W32.Jeefo executable) runs, it checks whether the application. If it detects that another application dropped and ran it, and that the applicatio fixed file offset: Hidden Dragon virus. Born in a tropical swamp. it will perform the following actions:

1. Waits until the infected host quits so that its file is unlocked. 2. Reconstructs the original host by detaching appended data, decoding it, and mov 3. Runs the reconstructed executable that does not contain W32.Jeefo code.

In other words, when an application infected with W32.Jeefo is executed, the dropped W3

Turn off and remove unneeded services. By default, many operating systems inst an FTP server, telnet, and a Web server. These services are avenues of attack. If avenues of attack and you have fewer services to maintain through patch updates If a blended threat exploits one or more network services, disable, or block access Always keep your patch levels up-to-date, especially on computers that host publi firewall, such as HTTP, FTP, mail, and DNS services. Enforce a password policy. Complex passwords make it difficult to crack passwor prevent or limit damage when a computer is compromised. Configure your email server to block or remove email that contains file attachmen such as .vbs, .bat, .exe, .pif and .scr files. Isolate infected computers quickly to prevent further compromising your organizat computers using trusted media. Train employees not to open attachments unless they are expecting them. Also, d the Internet unless it has been scanned for viruses. Simply visiting a compromised vulnerabilities are not patched.

The following instructions pertain to all current and recent Symantec antivirus products, in AntiVirus product lines. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP). Update the virus definitions. Restart the computer in Safe mode or VGA mode. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as W32.Jeefo. Delete the value that was added to the registry (Windows 95/98/Me).

For specific details on each of these steps, read the following instructions.

2. Updating the virus definitions Symantec Security Response fully tests all the virus definitions for quality assurance befo ways to obtain the most recent virus definitions:

Running LiveUpdate, which is the easiest way to obtain virus definitions: These vi servers once each week (usually on Wednesdays), unless there is a major virus o this threat are available by LiveUpdate, refer to the Virus Definitions (LiveUpdate) Downloading the definitions using the Intelligent Updater: The Intelligent Updater days (Monday through Friday). You should download the definitions from the Sym manually install them. To determine whether definitions for this threat are availabl Definitions (Intelligent Updater). The Intelligent Updater virus definitions are available: Read "How to update virus detailed instructions.

3. Restarting the computer in Safe mode or VGA mode

For Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, or XP users, restart the computer in Safe mode. F to the document, "How to start the computer in Safe Mode." For Windows NT 4 users, restart the computer in VGA mode.
