October 23, 2009 | In: Windows
Hi guys. You might have come across the issue with the process b.exe in your task manager. Yep it is malicious process.
Lets look how to remove it.
go to task manager kill the the process tree for b.exe
The soon edit the registry by
Start > Run > Type regedit.exe
Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
“b” Delete it
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
“b” Delete it
From both of the registry delete the entry for b.
Now remove the file b.exe
Usually it will be in the temp folder
c:\Documents and settings\<logged in user name>\Local Settings\tmp
Start > Run > type cmd
In the prompt type
c:\Documents and settings\<logged in user name>\Local Settings\Temp
(replace logged in user with your name)
now check whether the file is there
dir b.exe (it should show the file).
attrib b.exe
(this will show the attribute that is set. Usually it will be a caps "A")
If it is "A" remove the attribute using
attrib -A b.exe
Remove the file
del b.exe
Now to be on the safeside, have a system reboot.
