Beware this 'white knight' virus |
Antivirus company Trend Micro Inc has asked users to beware a new virus that claims to be a "good" virus because of its unusual payload: It is designed to attack variants of the widespread Yaha family of worms and remove them from infected computers.
However the Sahay virus (PE_SAHAY, aka "YahaSux") is no "white knight" coming to the rescue of PC users -- it can corrupt Windows system files and crash computers itself due to bugs in the code.
Sahay is not reported to be spreading widely and is currently rated a "very low risk" by Trend Micro, the company said in a statement.
It arrives via e-mail with the following details:
From:
To:
Subject: Fw: Sit back and be surprised..
Message Body: Now sit back, watch the attached slide show, and be surprised.
The attached file is called "Mathmagic.scr" and double-clicking on it will execute the virus.
The file-infecting virus attempts to attach itself to all the .exe files in the Windows and C: Program Files Mirc download directories, and sends a copy of itself to all recipients found in the infected user's Microsoft Outlook address book.
The Sahay virus also checks infected computers for characteristics of Yaha.K (WORM_YAHA.K or W32.Yaha.K) and some of its variants. If evidence of the Yaha worm is found, it attempts to clean the worm from the infected user's system, and then displays this message:
Exchange viruses?
Hi there ... it seems you were infected with Yaha.k. That worm however, written by an idiot who sPeLlS lIkE tHiS, abused my website and got me to receive the complaints. Therefore, I have just disinfected you. Don't worry tho.. as I didn't wanna steal from you, I gave you this virus (Win32.HLLP.YahaSux) in return :)
Greetz,
Gigabyte [Metaphase VX Team]
No white hat hacker
The message provides an explanation for the Sahay virus' interesting payload: Apparently an angry hacker wants to settle a grudge, Trend Micro said. The name of the purported writer, "Gigabyte," is well-known in hacker and computer security circles, the company added.
She is supposedly an 18-year-old girl from Belgium who claims to have been writing viruses since she was 14. She achieved notoriety for the "Sharpei" worm, only the second virus ever written in C# (C sharp), the programming language of Microsoft's new .NET platform.
In this case she has supposedly taken on Yaha.K because the writer of that virus used her website's address and caused her to take some of the blame.
Wong Joon Hoong, country sales manager at Trend Micro, is not particularly surprised.
"The hacker community on the whole is a very competitive, small-knit community," he said.
He doesn't think much of "Gigabyte's" motive, however, musing that "the Sahay writer is just trying to promote his/ her handiwork."
Gigabyte claims she is not a criminal: Supposedly she has never released a virus in the wild, but only sends them to experts and antivirus companies for recognition.
For anyone tempted to consider her a hero, however, her comments in the past have shown little regard for other computer users, said Trend Micro: "I'm not responsible for stupid people who open e-mail attachments that erase their files," she was quoted as saying in an interview with Tech TV (www.techtv.com/news/print/0,23102,3382211,00.html).
"But what about newbies who don't know any better?" the reporter asked. "Sh*t happens!" was her response.
Antivirus viruses
The Sahay virus is not the first case of a virus or worm designed to attack other malicious code, said Trend Micro.
In 2001, for example, the Atirus.A worm (WORM_ATIRUS.A aka W32.Allgro.A) arrived with the subject line "New antivirus tool" and the attachment ANTIVIRUS.EXE.
While it attempted to remove or disable several widespread viruses, including Badtrans (WORM_BADTRANS.A) and Sircam (WORM_SIRCAM.A), it also deleted various other files and spread itself to users in the victim's address book without permission.
In the current case, the Sahay virus can successfully disable Yaha.K, but bugs or omissions in the virus code could lead to the repeated infection of the same files, the loss of Windows icons, and the corruption of infected files, threatening system stability and leading to crashes, said Trend Micro.
Full technical details are available at Trend Micro's virus encyclopaedia at www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/.
Trend Micro believes there is no such thing as a "good" virus.
"Even if the writer's motives were 100% pure, unleashing a virus is a terrible way to fight other viruses," said Jamz Yaneza, senior antivirus consultant for TrendLabs, the research and support centre for Trend Micro.
"There is no central control, no party taking responsibility for the program's actions, including any unintended or potentially harmful side effects.
"Besides, how would you know it's only going to do good things? It could quickly be modified into a harmful virus by other virus writers," he added.
"Even so-called harmless viruses can actually cause damage," Wong claimed.
"When they begin to spread they can clog e-mail servers and disrupt network traffic. They almost always arrive under false pretences, install themselves without permission, take up space and use system resources without the user's knowledge.
"Spreading a virus is always an irresponsible act, if not outright illegal, and it cannot be a substitute for legitimate antivirus software," he said.
Trend Micro and other antivirus firms have updated their software to detect and remove the Sahay virus, and have posted information on its removal on their websites.
