Please follow the instructions for removing Trojans.

Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entries. The removal of these entries is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.

At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.

Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry
File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.

Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\

and remove any reference to any file you deleted.

Each user has a registry area named HKEY_USERS\[code number indicating user]\. For each user locate the entry:

CurrentVersion\Run\

and remove any reference to any file you deleted.

Close the registry editor.

More Information

Troj/BagleDl-W is a Trojan for the Windows platform.

When first run Troj/BagleDl-W copies itself to <Windows system folder>\hloader_exe.exe and creates the file <Windows system folder>\hleader_dll.dll. Both these files are detected as Troj/BagleDl-W.

Troj/BagleDl-W attempts to inject the dropped file hleader_dll.dll into the process explorer.exe.

The following registry entries are created to run hloader_exe.exe on startup:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
auto__hloader__key
<Windows system folder>\hloader_exe.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
auto__hloader__key
<Windows system folder>\hloader_exe.exe

Troj/BagleDl-W attempts to download and execute files from a number of remote websites.
