Remove Starimp Trojan. Removal instructions

Also known as: Starimp, Win32/Starimp

Severity scale:

(90 / 100)

Starimp trojan spies on victim’s internet history and sends gathered information to a remote server. It is very dangerous because of its ability to hide its presence and avoid firewalls. It is able to update itself.

Starimp (a.k.a. Win32/Starimp) modifies registry entries to load itself on startup even when a computer is booted in a safe mode. It also uses registry to trick Windows firewall into taking Starimp trojan files as regular programs. This way the trojan becomes unnoticeable and it can only be detected using anti-spyware scan.

Starimp goes over cookies and internet cache and copies usernames and passwords found. The trojan deletes internet history after taking the information it needs. It may disable various programs such as p2p software. Starimp employs email clients and instant messengers (i.e. ICQ, Miranda, Maxthon, Mozilla and The Bat) to send the collected information to ulm-haafeulm-haa.com.

Starimp turns on passive mode 10 hours after infection in order to avoid being detected.
