Can't remove win32 backdoor sinowal

Unread postby dougbi » April 15th, 2009, 3:47 pm

I have a computer running Windows 2000 and Ad-Aware SE and have a problem regarding some malware, specifically win32.backdoor.sinowal. The first time I did a scan, it detected several objects and removed them. A second scan (and subsequent ones) detect two registry values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:system\controlset001\enum\root\legacy_{def85c80-216a-43ab-af70-1665edbe2780}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\legacy_{def85c80-216a-43ab-af70-1665edbe2780}

The real problem is that they cannot be deleted by Ad-Aware SE, nor with Regedit. I think that they may be orphan registry entries (I may be wrong), but I would like to be on the safe side and remove them completely.

Thanks so much for your help!

Here is my HJT logfile.
