How to Remove C:\resycled\ntldr.com worm

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Last week, i was searching for a crack for a tool on Google and found one site. The crack on that site appeared to be a valid one. I downloaded and executed it because, i had confidence on Kaspersky Antivirus.

But that decision was very bad. Kaspersky Anti-virus didn’t catch this worm and i paid the price for nearly 2 days.

The very next day, i was confronted with a wierd problem. Whenever i tried to access drives from my computer, I was getting the following error:

c:\resycled\ntldr.com is not a valid Win32 application

Symptoms:

Cannot open all you drive using double click

I knew that this problem is because of that crack i installed. I also knew that autorun.inf files were created on root folder of all my drives. The autorun.inf had an entry to execute c:\resycled\ntldr.com.

This worm spreads when any type of removable drive is inserted into a computer.

My Laptop was immediately infected because, Samsung HM320JI External Hard Drive is always connected.

Two days back, my browser suddenly stopped working. I usually use Firefox. I thought may be there is some problem with Firefox browser. I then tried to open a website in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. But, i got same result. No site was opening.

I noticed one strange thing, uTorrent BitTorrent client was downloading and uploading stuff. But, at the same time i was unable to open any website in the browser. It means the internet was working.

I then closed uTorrent, waited for 10 sec and tried opening the website. I was surprised, the websites were opening. I again opened uTorrent and tried opening the website in the browser and it again stopped working.

At this point, I got to know that there is some problem related to uTorrent which is blocking the browser. Here is one of solution to unblock the browser when using uTorrent Client.
