Gumblar Virus

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

The gumblar virus is a very silent virus that does strange things. Most of what the computer does is still normal and web browsing appears to be largely OK, but the following happened.   It was removed using malwarebytes after doing a manual update of the .refs file (definitions).  See the other blog post for instructions how to do that.  The infection was nothing more than a 6 character file in the windows/systme32 folder.

1.      AVG would not update

2.      Malware Bytes will not update

3.      Quickbooks multiuser mode will not complete the load

4.      Firefox crashed when adding plugins

Gumblar.cn is a website is listed to be suspicious and contains several exploit scripts and trojans that might harm and infect computers.

Go to Control Panel. Choose printer. Then choose Add Printer.

Choose Add a local printer. Click on Create a new port. The default in the drop down box is Local Port. Do not change that. Click Next.

A dialogue box will appear asking for you to enter a port name. Type in the \\computer name\printer name .

This worked for a HP PSC 2400
