Heuristic Detection

A heuristic detection is a detection, generally made by a antivirus product, to a file which may be a threat due to certain qualities and code in the file. The goal of a heuristic detection is to find threats which haven’t already been identified.

Yhaaaaaaa, i killed the beast this very ugly virus is infecting/replacing the file ntfs.sys in c:\windows\system32\ and in c:\windows\system32\dllcache. So how i did it?
First i have disabled “System restore” and the virtual memory moved to 0 (memorize this 2 numbers). Then i have closed all proccesses named “BN3.tmp, BN4.tmp ….,BN50.tmp ….” and also “braviax.exe”. After this i have deleted everything from “c:\Documents adn setting\\local setting\temp” and “temporary internet files” and everything in “c:\windows\temp” Now using an utility cd with a windows live or the instructions from microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822800) replace the ntfs.sys file with the original one.
Now scan with “SUPERAntiSpyware” free edition and “Spybot – Search & Destroy”.
At the end don’t forget to reenable the “System restore” and set the virtual memory like before.
I hope this will help all of u who met this monster
