Hey everyone,
This thread has been written to ask for some advice regarding the
infection of my PC by the worm SVL 1.X .
So what I've seen, it appeared harmless at first. But the moment I
tried to de-install Skype, it activated, adding the feature Windows
Collaboration to Program Files. I tried to remove it, but that was
impossible, because access was denied. The only group with full
permission was TrustedInstaller.
The worm has also opened a backdoor in my firewall.
I have now turned the feature itself off (Collaboration) , disabled
most of the services that it depends on (because they were still
running!) , and blocked most of the inbound connections.
My question is now: are these measures enough? And is there a way to
remove Windows Collaboration and all file sharing services altogether?
