Hi Guys

This morning my AVG Free full scan picked up this problem file in
C:\l386\win9xmig\eastman.
Google search seems to indicate this file is (was) used with upgrade of IE6
to 7.

Do I need to restore the file?


XP Home fully patched, IE7

Thanks

Bill

Bill:

Assuming it was, did you slip-stream the i386 folder for IE7 ?
If you did not specifically slip-stream the i386 folder then this can't be true.
Aditionally, this file is specifiocally for Eastmakn Kodak software and has NOTHING to to do
with IE.

This is why Google is NOT the place to search. Too many faux answers.

My file...

1.2.0.9025 // WorkFolder Migration DLL // Copyright © 1996-1998 Kodak.
8/4/04 68KB

{ BTW: I see this is the SAME file supplied as on my Win2K i386 folder }

I submitted my file copy to Virus Total and guess what, it was a falsely declared as
"Generic2.LNI" by AVG !

See inline responses also,

In light of my non-use of Kodak I take it there is no point in restoring the
file.

BTW I am using AVG Free 7.5.432 Virus Base: 268.15.15/580 Release Date
12/8/2006 12:53PM and am updated each morning, so the 'error' must have been
in this morning's update.

Thanks for your speedy assistance.

Bill:

It is on the original distribution CDROM and is quite available for restoration. However,
this file is used but once. It is only used it a situation where you are upgrading Win9x/ME
to WinXP (or Win9x to Win2K) and is using the Eastman Kodak software distributed with the
Win9x OS.

So the answer is that "MIGRATE.DLL" is no longer needed once the OS is already installed.
 
I had the same MIGRATE.DLL file detected tonight (Friday) during a scan
with:

AVG Free
Version: 7.1.409
Virus database: 2.15.15/580
Release date: 12/8/2006 12:53:00 PM

AVG's Complete Test result reads as follows:

File: MIGRATE.DLL
Result/infection: Trojan horse Generic2.LNI
Path: C:\I386\WIN9XMIG\EASTMAN\MIGRATE.DLL

How do you know for certain that it's actually a false positive?
 
The VirusTotal <http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html> scan of my
MIGRATE.DLL file also came up empty:

It is the same file in w\my Win2K distribition set as in the WinXP distribution set.

It is part of the WinNT 5.x distribution file set and goes back many years. If this was
truly malware it would have been detected long ago and would be dtected across the board.
As you may have seen in my Virus Total report, AVG was the ONLY scanner with a detection.
Ergo, a False Positive declaration.

Make that:

Also updated AVG Free database to 268.15.15/581, released 12/9/2006
3:41:00 PM.

Rescanned C:\I386\WIN9XMIG\EASTMAN\MIGRATE.DLL directly, and no virus
detected.

Thanks for the quick fix, Grisoft.

This might not, but his could be. On my W2k CD there are several files
with this name in the subdirectories of win9xmig. They are different
sizes, and contain different vendor names in the properties. One of
them has this: "Internet Explorer Migration DLL for Windows 2000".

Lofty posted the same report about AVG detecting the migrate dll in
our ISP's help group. The path given was "C:\1386\WIN9{X}v...", where
the dots presumably indicate a truncation in the display. I don't
understand why the directory name is not the same, and can't tell
which subdirectory it was found in. Note also that for both posters
the main directory is "1386" (the first character is "one"), but mine
is the usual "I386" (capital "i").

Ant:

Bill specifically posted... .\l386\win9xmig\eastman\migrate.dll
I examined my Win2K and WinXP folders and found the file version to be thae same,
v1.2.0.9025, [ WorkFolder Migration DLL, Copyright © 1996-1998 Kodak. , Eastman Software New
York ]and the fact that it is in the 'eastman' folder clinches it.

I searched for MIGRATE.DLL on my Win2K .\i386 folder and found 27 files named MIGRATE.DLL
and each one was in its OWN folder. They would have to be to be of the same name. Of these
27 files only a few are teh same size. Therefore I can NOT conclude that one MIGRATE.DLL
for Eastman Kodak can be falsely declared by AVG as well as another for IE migration.

I don't know what Lofty posted and I don't have a fully qualified name and path to
corraborate like I did for Bill.

Fair enough. I was just trying to figure out how IE came to be mentioned.

It turns out that Lofty can't type! His was in fact the Eastman-Kodak
migrate.dll -- so all's well.

Thanx Ant. Which os proof that one needs to state the fully qulaified name and path to a
file and not just a file name.

BTW: That site where you decoded the PHP for me, it is a server for a spam bot network.
The file WIN.EXE changes periodically. Sometimes its is the same file but now using new
compression and sometimes it is a completely different file. I have continued to track the
server and the variations of the file and submitted all variations to the anti malware
vendors. I wonder if XOD, the author of the PHP, is the author of the WIN.EXE file as well.

Yesterday the file was 9KB and Today it is 13KB.

BTW: I really think you did great in decoding the PHP file ! :-)

BTW: That site where you decoded the PHP for me, it is a server for a spam bot network.

Certainly appears so from the info I found in the new 13k exe.
The file WIN.EXE changes periodically. Sometimes its is the same file but now using new
compression and sometimes it is a completely different file. I have continued to track the
server and the variations of the file and submitted all variations to the anti malware
vendors.

I occasionally download the latest variant to see if I can find out
what it's up to. This 13k one revealed a bit more.
I wonder if XOD, the author of the PHP, is the author of the WIN.EXE file as well.

There's an embedded URL (the "debvmlpkitm" one) in this exe which
leads via a frameset to another site hosting the same encoded PHP, but
without the XOD ascii art.
Yesterday the file was 9KB and Today it is 13KB.

Looks nasty!

Part of the file is not packed, which got me poking around.
* Creates file C:\WINDOWS\winntdll.exe.
* Creates file C:\WINDOWS\gg.dll.
* Creates a mutex [t~t~t~t~t~t~t].

Those names are visible in the exe, together with "gg.exe" and
"botdll.dll". I also frequently see the string "gadu-gadu" in these
files, and this time I was able to uncover a complete URL.

Using wget to download:
h--p://appmsg.gadu-gadu.pl/appsvc/appmsg4.asp?fmnumber=0
retrieves this string:
0 0 217.17.41.88:8074 217.17.41.88

If the "fmnumber" parameter is changed to 1, 2, etc, a different IP
address is returned. Also, the string "217.17.45.143:8074" is hard
coded into the exe. Telnetting to that IP on port 8074 gives a prompt
of gibberish, so I don't know what service is running on it. However,
it does all smell of bot command and control.
