ReMark Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Ahankhah last visited CADTutor back in April of 2013. It sounds like you have reinfected your system which could only mean you are opening previously infected files. Until you stop doing so you'll continue to have a problem. Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 It sounds like you have reinfected your system which could only mean you are opening previously infected files. Until you stop doing so you'll continue to have a problem. what i meant is that before monday, i never had this problem. i've been having this problem since monday morning (this most probably came from a USB plugged into my pc) i applied his fix just now, today, right before i posted on this forum (i've been looking up a fix all afternoon) and it didn't work. any suggestions?

ReMark Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Are you sure you followed the instructions to the letter? Sometimes all it takes is a tiny misstep to negate everything that comes afterwards. I speak specifically about the following line in a secondary post by Ahankhah... "...so when you are running "KW", disable antivirus guard temporarily" Did you follow this step as well? Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 "...so when you are running "KW", disable antivirus guard temporarily" Did you follow this step as well? yes, antivirus disabled. Quote
ReMark Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Which of the three options did you choose? Active / Passive / All? BTW...you must have admin rights to your computer. Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 All 3. i am the admin let's run this again: -disable antivirus -launch autocad, -appload -select "KillWorm142.lsp", load, close -KW, then "active": "No worm found, aborting..." -KW, then "passive": "File is already clean: "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\R18.2\enu\support\acadappp.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\3d.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\3darray.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\acad2012.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\acad2012doc.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\acadinfo.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\ai_utils.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\attredef.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\edge.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\mvsetup.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2012 - English\support\sample-profile-util.lsp" File is already clean: "C:\Users\user\appdata\roaming\autodesk\autocad 2012 - english\r18.2\enu\support\acad.mnl" File is already clean: "C:\Users\user\appdata\roaming\autodesk\autocad 2012 - english\r18.2\enu\support\acetmain.mnl" File is already clean: "C:\Users\user\appdata\roaming\autodesk\autocad 2012 - english\r18.2\enu\support\AecArchxOE.mnl" " -KW then "all", it takes time to finish but it says nothing about any worm or virus.

ReMark Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 So you run the program then look in the folder where the drawing is stored and you see a acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp file? There is a routine that is available at this website you might try although I have no knowledge of it. http://metinsaylan.com/819/how-to-clean-acaddoc-lsp-virus-from-your-pc/ Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 yes, i just opened a new autocad file, and saved it in "new folder". few seconds later after opening it again, i see "acad.lsp" in the same folder Quote
ReMark Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Without having to ask a dozen more questions and without direct access to your computer I could not say what is happening. My advice is to try the worm removal tool the link to which I included in post #87. Have you run your own antivirus program as well to see what it does/doesn't find? Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 i'll check post #87 tomorrow and let you know.. one can never be too protective about viruses, but as for opening websites / downloads / usbs.. i am very careful. (thankfully all my machines died of overuse not viruses) i had a full system scan yesterday, no viruses found. (the usb was inserted without my approval ) Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 it's Acad.lsp not acaddoc we are 7 pcs on a network and now we all have it! 100% no one had it on their pc before monday. Quote
tanyakorban Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) i found out i have an acadappp.lsp (THREE P's) in my support folder containing the same codes as the acad.lsp file that keeps creating in every folder. here's what fixed it : -open this location: My computer > c:// > users > (user) > appdata (hidden files should be visible) > roaming > autodesk > autocad 20XX - [language] > R18.2 > enu > support -in this location you can find an "acad.mnl" file, open it, Remove the entry added by the virus (anything that has to do with ONLY "load acadappp.lsp"), SAVE, CLOSE. -after editing the acad.mnl file, in the same location you find a file called "acadappp.lsp" with 3 Ps, delete this file too. -enter my computer > C:// , then search for "acad.lsp" files, wait till the search finishes. -icons should show in your search, under the view section, choose to view with "details" -check the location of each acad.lsp file found. -anything that has to do with "support" or "express", autocad root installation folders ... DONT DELETE THEM. (or else you'll get an error every time you'll open autocad.) -anything that is located under personal project folders you created, autocad files you created, briefly what seems to have nothing to do with SYSTEM FILES, select them and DELETE. ------------------------------------------------------- this worked well on 3 computers which had that virus. ------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: i've come to realize the virus i had comes to your pc when you open an autocad file that has an "acad.lsp" file next to it. that means the autocad file is already corrupted by this virus. once you open it, the acad.lsp along with the acadapp.lsp copy directly to your system. then when you open your autocad project, it'll ask you in a pop up whether you want to load acad.lsp in this drawing only or in all drawings. - if you choose "this drawing only", it'll change some settings in your current drawing. nothing major, it would not change or modify your files and projects. only settings. - if you choose " all drawings", it'll modify all autocad files you have saved on your pc, then next to each autocad file you'll end up having a "acad.lsp" file along with it. all your autocad files will be corrupted and this becomes a longer tast cleaning your pc over and over.. [bELIEVE ME YOU DO NOT WANT TO CHOOSE THIS OPTION] What i suggest you should do is to CLOSE that dialog box once it starts opening on your pc, close autocad, and do the cleaning process i mentioned above. SOURCE: : Personal experience google searching keywords: "acadappp.lsp", "ALS.Bursted.B", "ALS.Bursted.A", which lead to autocad issues related forums, symantec and norton help removing this malware, ... i mainly combined what was necessary and posted it here. GOOD LUCK! Edited June 27, 2014 by tanyakorban typing errors Quote
