"This page is dedicated to the yet unknown new virus/threat that suddenly appeared on my PC in January 2005 and is even spreading now, half a year later!
Here you will be able to see the results of my investigation of this strange thing that no antivirus software is able to detect it."
Admilli Service seems to be a adware/spyware/virus threat that has the ability to infect all computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems. I have found out that it can automatically install itself into your PC when you are surfing on the Internet with Microsoft Internet Explorer (even with a higher security level).
After installed it does unpredictable things... Maybe it logs all your input and collects your passwords, enables hackers to gain access to you computer or use it as a node for their mass spamming needs, somehow tryes to infect other computers in you local network... I wasn't able to detect and classify his activity, but it looks like some sort of sophisticated spyware. You may look at all the possible classifications.
Nowadays it seems that a newer version of Admilli Service is spreading in the wild and it is classified by many other investigators as: adware/spyware.
I have tryed to detect and clean the virus with many different antivirus and antispyware programs (like [an error occurred while processing this directive], [an error occurred while processing this directive] ...) that were all up to date (on end of December 2004), but none of them found anything!
Therefore I came to the conclusion that the thing is yet unknown to the world and it works on a different way that similar malware. More details about my investigation can be found on the Details subpage.
As nasty as the threat looks like it can be easily removed with a few clicks! On the other hand you may try some of the newest spyware and virus removal tools mentioned above and on the Details subpage (some detect it already).
The virus or spyware installs itself as a fully legitimate program inside the Program Files directory with some Registry entrys and it also has a working uninstallation function. So all you need to do is just open up the Control Panel (in Windows XP it can be found under the Start menu) and choose to Add or Remove Programs. Locate Admilli Service in the list that comes up and click the Remove (uninstall) button. After the process is finished your computer will be Admilli Service free supposedly. You may also empty your Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files cache (select the menu Tools, then Internet options and click on the Delete files button) and disable System Restore (after you've done it you can re-enable it again).
The whole thing can also be removed with the instructions (the hard way).
This can be found on the Details subpage.
