Description:
SymbOS/KillAV.C is a destructive mobile Trojan program aimed at disabling
normal mobile applications specifically Mobile Anti-Virus applications by
dropping corrupted copies of the application¡¯s files.
It may arrive on a phone disguised as a SIS installer for normal applications or
theme packages. It may even display misleading messages.
When the malicious SIS installer is executed, it overwrites normal application
files in the device¡¯s application directories, with damaged copies. Some of the
popular applications it disables in this way include the following:
!:\system\apps\Anti-Virus\FSAVDT.EXE
!:\system\apps\Anti-Virus\FSAVMANAGER.EXE
!:\system\apps\AntiVirMobile\update\UPDATER.EXE
!:\system\apps\BdMobile\Bdinst.EXE
!:\system\apps\FortiClient\AUTOSCAN.EXE
!:\system\apps\FortiClient\AUTOUPDATE.EXE
!:\system\apps\FortiClient\FORTIREG.EXE

Auto Desinfection:
1. Download and install Viroxware
2. Register and Download the latest and most up-to-date Virusdefinitions

Manual Desinfection:
To disinfect a compromised device, it is necessary to reinstall all
overwritten applications. The SymbOS/KillAV.C SIS installer must then be
deleted. If this does not restore the phone, formatting the phone may be
necessary. All data saved in the C drive will be lost during a format.
