Doomsday Has Come: YOU ARE iNFECTED BY RAVO_5002

17 November 2007

I have been asked by a friend on what type of virus got them. There is a message that displays on the computer upon start up with the following text:

Window Title: Doomsday Has Come
Message: YOU ARE iNFECTED BY RAVO_5002

I cannot reply to them until McAfee released the definition for this type of infection which they called W32/Vora.worm!p2p.

For sure, the next question will be “How to remove W32/Vora.worm!p2p?”

    I was also infected by the bravo, Mcafee couldn’t detect it. I did the following: (Please dont do this if you are not an advanced user.)

    (You have to be administrator to do this)
    Click start then run

    on the box that appear type regedit then enter

    click on edit then find

    on the popup box type protector

    It will find the entry for doomsday. Delete it.

    close the regedit and your good to go.

    If still having problems let me know.

    To do away with this infection, Go to run, Type cmd, At the command prompt, change to drive c: and type attrib ENTER. I am sure protector.exe and autorun.inf with attrib SHR will be among the files listed. Then type attrib -s -h -r ENTER.
    After that type del protector.exe and del autorun.inf
    They are now deleted from your machine.
    Pendrives easily carry them. Insert it and change to it’s drive letter and start the process.
    NB
    DO NOT OPEN THE PENDRIVE

    I had this virus, and the following procedure seemed to work in getting rid of it for me. Hopefully it works for you as well.

    open command prompt my going Start > Run and typing cmd.

    You should be in a directory called something like “C:\Documents and Settings\User”. if you are not, change to it by typing ‘cd’ and the directory above (replacing ‘user’ with your username), and then pressing enter.

    type ‘attrib’ and press enter. There should be a file called svchost.exe, and will have the attributes SHR (which stands for System-file, hidden, and read-only).

    type ‘attrib -s -h -r svchost.exe’. This removes the SHR properties and allows you to delete the file.

    type ‘del svchost.exe’. This should delete the virus from your computer.

    NOTE: svchost.exe is a critical system file if it is located in C:\WINDOWS\System32. If it is located elsewhere (as this one is), it is generally a virus.

    Then, insert infected pen drives (memory sticks, iPods etc.) which carry the virus. Change the directory to the pen drive by typing ‘E:’(or whatever letter it is) ENTER. Then type ‘attrib’ as above.

    there should be the files ‘protector.exe’ and ‘autorun.inf’ which also have the properties SHR. type ‘attrib -s -h -r’ ENTER, and then delete the files by typing ‘del autorun.inf’ ENTER then ‘del protector.inf’ ENTER. This should remove the virus. Autorun.inf might reappear, but this shouldn’t be a problem.

    Do not open the pen drive after you insert it, and cancel any autorun windows that come up.

    Yeah, the easiest way to do it is with DOS
    We have this virus going around in my school and we(kids that get constantly asked to take it off) have gotten so annoyed were just distributing a simple batch file to take it off.
    But yeah the basics of taking it off are
    attrib -s -h -r
    attrib
    read it, if any of the following are there delete them,
    del svchost.exe
    del protector.exe
    del autorun.inf
    You may notice that some of the programs will be in the C drive and others may be in the flashdrive
    just type in
    E:
    or F:
    or whatever the flashdrive is
    than do the same
    If it tells you its not a recognized command, your typing it in wrong.
    If it tells you access denied(a common thing at school due to so many freaking things being blocked),
    you may have to restart your computer.

    Note: Use the Task Manager to end the process of Doomsdayhascome before doing any of this.
    Note: You may have to delete them in a certain order for granted access, such as
    del protector.exe
    del autorun.inf
    del svchost.exe

    This is extremely freaking basic.
    If your downloading any programs for this your just wasting your time and your harddrive space.
