Infection: Understanding and Removing Bdoor-CHR/W32/MyDoom

What it is

Bdoor-CHR/W32/MyDoom is a backdoor/trojan variant of the MyDoom family that grants remote attackers access, can spread via email/network shares, and may download additional malware or participate in denial-of-service attacks.

Signs of infection

• Sudden slowdown, high CPU/network usage
• Unknown processes or services (often with random or mimic names)
• Unexpected outbound connections or SMTP activity
• Disabled security tools or altered firewall rules
• Missing or modified files, changed startup items

Immediate steps (containment)

1. Isolate the device from networks (unplug Ethernet, disable Wi‑Fi).
2. If the device is part of a business network, notify IT/security and follow incident response procedures.
3. Preserve logs and evidence if needed for forensics (do not power off if live analysis is required).

Removal steps (single device)

1. Reboot into Safe Mode with Networking (Windows) to limit malware activity.
2. Update your antivirus/anti-malware signatures from a clean device if possible.
3. Run a full system scan using a reputable on-demand scanner (Malwarebytes, ESET, Kaspersky, Windows Defender). Quarantine/delete detections.
4. Use a secondary on-demand rootkit scanner (e.g., Sophos, TDSSKiller) to check for hidden components.
5. Inspect startup entries: Task Manager > Startup, Autoruns (Sysinternals) to remove suspicious items.
6. Check scheduled tasks and services for unknown entries and disable/remove them.
7. Reset network settings and firewall rules to defaults if they were altered.
8. Change all passwords (from a known-clean device) — email, admin accounts, online services.
9. Monitor for reappearance and run additional scans after reboot.

If removal fails or for critical systems

• Consider full disk wipe and OS reinstall from trusted media.
• Restore from a known-good backup made before the infection.
• Engage professional incident response if the device contains sensitive data or the compromise is widespread.

Hardening and prevention

• Keep OS and applications updated; enable automatic security updates.
• Use reputable endpoint protection with behavior detection.
• Disable unnecessary services; use least-privilege accounts.
• Train users to avoid suspicious attachments and links; verify senders.
• Implement email filtering, network segmentation, and intrusion detection.
• Regularly back up data and test restores.

Post-incident checklist

• Verify no other systems show indicators of compromise.
• Review logs for lateral movement or data exfiltration.
• Reissue credentials and rotate keys/tokens that may have been exposed.
• Update incident documentation and apply lessons learned.
