Funny UST Scandal.exe (Sdbot-DIQ, Imaut-A) is a worm that usually spread by e-mail attachments. After installation Funny UST Scandal.exe turns of antivirus programs. Also it can download different malware programs from Internet and install it without your knowledge. This worm infects Yahoo Messenger and may block every application running on PC. Funny UST Scandal.exe may in fect network computers, through network shares and infected e-mails.
Software used to build the virus= AutoIt V3
he virus, it seems, creates three files on all your root drives: A fake .avi file named "Funny UST Scandal.avi.exe", an smss.exe file, and an autorun.ini to automatically start the virus when it's on a new inserted drive.
Seems this problem is relatively new, as I haven't been able to find any sort of help for it anywhere, other than the usual "scan with AdAware and Norton". It automatically closes programs that are "threats" to it, it seems: I can't keep any anti-spyware programs open long enough to scan for it. AVG Free doesn't detect it, either. Safe mode doesn't stop it from starting up with the OS either.
Hoping you guys could help? Here's the HJT log:
