- In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
- wextract_cleanup0 = "rundll32.exe %System%\advpack.dll, DelNodeRunDLL32 "%User Temp%\IXP000.TMP""
- wextract_cleanup0 = "rundll32.exe %System%\advpack.dll, DelNodeRunDLL32 "%User Temp%\IXP000.TMP""
Step 6
Search and delete these files
- %User Temp%\IXP000.TMP\{random characters}
- %User Temp%\IXP000.TMP\core.dll
- %ProgramData%\{1st set of random characters}\{2nd set of random characters}.dat
Step 7
Search and delete these folders
