Kenilfe is a malicious AutoCAD program that propagates via removable drives. It also attempts to download Visual Basic Scripts from remote servers, if certain conditions are met.
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Check for the latest database updates
First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
Submit a sample
After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.
Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
Exclude a file from further scanning
If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.
Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
During installation, the malware creates the following registry entries:
It then creates copies of itself in the following locations:
Where%SHXN% is the same as the SHXN value found in the registry entry (above).
It also creates the following files:
Where%TMN% is also the same as the TMN value found in the registry entry.
It enables the Windows Scripting Host by creating the following registry entry:
Then deletes the registry key:
It also deletes the following files:
Once installed, Kenilfe downloads and executes Visual Basic Scripts based on the following conditons:
Example: if the IP address of updatebd.8800.org is 221.239.103.104, both Visual Basic Scripts will be downloaded and executed.
These conditions are specified in the CXBB and GXBZ registry, respectively.
The malware enumerates all folders in all removable drives. If it finds the file acad.fas, it replaces the file with a copy of
Alternatively, if the folder contains a drawing (.dwg) file, it will create the file acad.fas (which is really a copy of isomianyi.shx).
It then creates a file named pagefile in the same drive location, to mark that it is done infected the drive.
During the enumeration process, the malware also renames the following files to append a "_bak" in their filenames:
