BITDEFENDER REMOVAL TOOL CODE
Once installed, ZBot modifies the files and folders’ structure, adds registry keys, injects code into several processes like winlogon.exe or svchost.exe, and adds exceptions to the Microsoft Firewall providing backdoor and server capabilities. The latest campaign was morphing the LinkedIn login page. Zbot is known to be distributed mainly via the spam email campaigns and web pages which hosts the trojan. The latest variants can also gather the history of the visited Web sites and other data, which users provide online, while also capturing screenshots of the their desktop.
BITDEFENDER REMOVAL TOOL VERIFICATION
Zeus was reported to be attacking the Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode verification systems introduced in recent years by spoofing Visa and MasterCard enrollment screen. I found in registry a potential key in the uninstaller as base64 but they must have some other means of decrypting it as running it through base64 decode gave me gibberish (but still valid base64).ZBot (also known as Zeus, ZeusBot or WSNPoem) is a popular trojan engineered to steal sensitive data from compromised computers. My next idea was to try and find the set password, and change it to something known. Staying with BD would be cheaper at that point.
BITDEFENDER REMOVAL TOOL INSTALL
I spoke to one company to try get it removed, they pretty much just wanted to install remote software and then safe mode remove it all, and the price was quite high for it due to the man hours involved. I spoke to 3 guys there, including the resellers to try get it removed, they all said safe mode was the only way to do it without the password.Īt the end of the day, I'm a leaving customer and we probably didn't leave on the best of terms either, so I don't think they were going to do us any favours. There's no password in the password vault other than console password, and it wasn't that. The password was likely set by my assistant many years ago. They pointed me at BEST_uninstallTool but that still requires a password. Keywords for google: BEST_uninstallTool.exe, remove bitdefender, no password, unknown password, lost password, Endpoint Security, Gravityzone From there, I removed BitDefender as normal password free on all computers automatically without going into safe mode on each machine one by one.

This forced all computers to downgrade to an older version of BitDefender and it actively removed unknown the password. Instead, I took a BitDefender installer package (espkit_圆4.exe), modified the installer.xml file and removed the encrypted password set within the file, and re-deployed the installer without password. I was not going to boot 50 machines into safe mode to remove it one by one. I reached out to BitDefender, who were smug, but said "Nope, safe mode is the only way to do it" even though I had the installer and the encrypted password from within it, they were not prepared to help.īrute force guessing forces the installer to lockout indefinitely after only a handful of attempts, and attempts to decrypt the base64 looking password failed.

Switched away to another solution, and it turns out there's an uninstall password on BitDefender that I've never known was set. I had BitDefender installed on some 50 machines.

BITDEFENDER REMOVAL TOOL PATCH
Hopefully they don't patch this out.Įdit: it now appears to have been patched. I'm writing this as a resource for other people who have this problem and are unhappy with the recommended "boot into safe mode" given by BitDefender.
