   dwwin.exe:2456
   AppLaunch.exe:1864
   AppLaunch.exe:1144
   

2. Delete the original Trojan file.
   
3. Delete or disinfect the following files created/modified by the Trojan:

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\AD7D1.dmp (149234 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\XX--XX--XX.txt (235 bytes)
   %System%\cssrs\csrss.exe (59 bytes)

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\RasMigPlugin.exe (2105 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Templates\msdtcstp.exe (7 bytes)

4. Delete the following value(s) in the autorun key (How to Work with System Registry):

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Microsoft® Windows® Operating System" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Templates\msdtcstp.exe"
   
   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Server Service Runtime " = "%System%\cssrs\csrss.exe"
   
   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Service Runtime Server" = "%System%\cssrs\csrss.exe"

5. Clean the Temporary Internet Files folder, which may contain infected files (How to clean Temporary Internet Files folder).
   
6. Find and delete all copies of the worm's file together with "autorun.inf" scripts on removable drives.
   
7. Reboot the computer.
   

*Manual removal may cause unexpected system behaviour and should be performed at your own risk.
