Came in this morning to find a windows 2003 server I manage scanning the Internet for machines listening on tcp 139 and 445. While looking at the machine I noticed the following processes running.
Mwvsta.exe found in c:\windows\system32
rundll16.exe c:\windows\system23
Ponoas.exe c:\windows\system32
I believe that the ponoas.exe is some sort of rootkit although searching on google for this file name returns nothing. Also searching mwvsta.exereturns nothing. At this point I have removed these files from the system and registry but am weary that the server will get hit again. Has anyone had an experience with the following file or have any idea what rookkit of virus they are associated with?
Thanks,
Patrick
