SymLCSV1.exe

BOCLEAN and TDS-3 identify this file as Trojan.win32.dodgy. The file is SYMLCSV1,EXE from the following directory.

c:/programfiles/common files/symantec shared/ccpd-1c\

I believe the above two program can remove it, I wonder should I use ghost to reclone the harddisk back to the original state. Any advice. Thank you.

If you are using a Symantec product the USUAL file is located here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsvc.exe
Note: The file you noted is 'similar' to the one above...
Could you navigate to the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\ and list any exe files you have in that directory?

If ''Symlcsvc.exe '' is damaged your Norton will not run properly.

Would you submit that file for analysis here & post what it finds or does not find?

I will try to submit the files to the website but I guess I better reformat the HDD to be on the safe side.

Before you reformat let's at least try to get this file analyzed and sent over to Symantec as well....:)

In Windows Explorer, do a file properties on SYMLCSV1.EXE. Is it digitally signed by Verisign? That's your best proof that is not tampered/fake. It should be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsvc.exe (shared core component with recent Symantec consumer products [I think 2004 and up]). Note the location and spelling (assuming Windows is in English and using defaults).

If not digitally signed by Verisign, it's fake/bad!

Agreed. Format is too harsh. Use it as the last resort when all options have run out. Oh, and thanks for the thumb up rating in my last reply.

Could you navigate to
C:\Program Files\TDS3\Logs\May
and copy the logfile for the date that this was found by TDS-3 and post it here for us?
That would really be helpful as well...:)

Sorry, I already started using clone to reclone the harddisk. The reason is the TDS-3 lock-up on reboot. So in order to stop further damage to my other anti-trojan program, I go ahead and reclone back to its original state.

BEFORE YOU REFORMAT--
Could you try and locate the file and have it scanned online?
This trojan based on limited info is quite difficult to get rid of and I'm sure symantec would like to know more about it as it was found in their core components directory,

I don't think I can submitted the file to symantec.

I read through their website, it said in order to submit a sample file, they need it to be taken from the quarantee area.

But my norton anti-virus program are down.

Ah, even the quarantine don't work. Now, using TDS-3 on safe mode to detect the trojan and see what other files are infected.

Hi,

I can confirm this is a false alarm. The REAL symlcsvc.exe has many other files embedded within it, and this is one of them. Not sure why, but it does look like its used for updating ! If you have removed this file, you can reinstall or get the file from someone else

symlcsvc.exe MD5 94D3C8257776019A7A96AF69F62BA509

Please note there could be other versions of this file around, depending on the products users have installed. This is the only checksum for both the files I have..

TDS-3 no longer detects this, the update was issued early today. Apologies for any inconvenience, enjoy the weekend!

Thanks Gavin for that info. I luckily haven't seen this happen using tds-3 and Symantec products. Thanks for getting fixed as well.

The Symantec link I posted earlier has instructions for fixing a missing symclsv....
