How to remove VideoCodec3_05b – ICQCHK.exe – MSX.DLL

Myantispyware team February 1, 2006     1 Comment    

ICQCHK Trojan is installed by VideoCodec3_05b.exe to help you play “funny” movies. Now the Trojan’s web sites are closed.

Related files in the %SysDir% folder (usually c:\ Windows\System32):
kaboom.dll
iewatch.exe
A0003016.exe
VideoCodec3_05b.exe
sysmon.exe
msx.dll
gtrack.dll
ietool[1].exe
ietool[2].exe
ietool[3].exe

Removal Instructions

  • Download special software:
    RegRun Reanimator
    Unzip it to any folder on your hard drive.
    * RegRun users need to open RegRun Start Control.
  • Save icqchk_kill.rnr to the same folder.

    * Script file works if Windows is installed to “C:\Windows”.
    * Script file deletes Trojan’s files and registry entries. If not, open icqchk_kill.rnr in the Notepad.exe and replace “c:\Windows” to your path.

  • Restart your computer to the Safe mode.
    1. Restart your computer
    2. After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
    3. Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
    4. Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
  • Open Reanimator.exe (or RegRun Start Control). Open Reanimator menu, “Execute Reanimator Job”. Choose icqchk_kill.rnr file.
  • Restart your computer again to the Safe mode. Repeat the job execution.
  • Restart to the Normal Windows mode. Open Reanimator and choose “Scan for Viruses” to be sure that it is complete.
  • Visit RegRun Support center if you have any questions.
    Open a support ticket and attach your detailed system report made by RegRun.

    Thank-you for the information, with it I was finally able to remove the Vcodec. I will mention that I did not have any of the files you mentioned, instead the problem on my system was c:\windows\system32\hp2314.tmp
