this virus is not even in the wild and has been around for 2 years. I wonder if it could be some other delf variant. What antivirus are you using? Search here
for "delf" (without quotes) and you will find several variants. You might want to try an online scan with a different scanner - see faq760-3862
One of my network clients has just come up with this same trojan, TROJ_DELF.D. Trends Office Scan is the only software that has caught it. The only thing is, it won't clean, delete, or quarantine. There is a file left over in C:\Windows\System32\hnsys32.dll that the software keeps telling me it is infected, but I don't see it, and using search, still no results. It is an XP machine and show system folders has been checked....... would love to know if I have a hero out there that can help.......
I too got the troj_delf.d virus today. It was found by trend micro. I have done all the same as katie and have not corrected teh prob. I am XP home edition and use a cable modem. I have teh same left over file and it keeps sending teh following message:
APP_BK_038
Connection timed out (error #10060)
After running, it'll find like 6 files or something.. REBOOT!!
Once back up, stop the service cgtask.exe
remove the files:
The C:\WINNT\System32\cgtask.exe file
The C:\WINNT\winssk32.exe file.
You might not have winssk32.exe, no big deal..
next: DELETE C:\Windows\System32\hnsys32.dll If you can't see the file, make very sure you are showing ALL FILES.. Tools | Folder Options | Show all files & all protected files..
Once delete, use trend again.. vamoose!!
Be sure to let everyone know if this works for you!!!

Thank you very much for your posting regarding curing what was appearing to be an un-curable virus. One change I had to make you had said stop the service on cgtask.exe, I "ended-the-process" under task manager after I couldn't find the service.
Thank you snootalope..... You are my Hero. I had run the symantec tool and it did delete 1 file. When I rebooted, I still had Trend finding the C:\Windows\System32\hnsys32.dll. I never did find this file,(even making the folder option changes) but after deleting cgtask.exe and winssk32.exe, rebooting and running another scan, all is great. Again, thanks, we would miss your expertise if you became a doctor.
