Behaviour	Description
WormAutorun	A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Worm's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Process activity

The Worm creates the following process(es):

reg.exe:2100
reg.exe:2108
reg.exe:2116
reg.exe:2124

The Worm injects its code into the following process(es):

%original file name%.exe:2432
keygen.exe:1692
credwiz.exe:612
AppLaunch.exe:1464
PrintBrmPs.exe:2832

File activity

Propagation

A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Worm's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Removals

Remove it with Ad-Aware

1. Click (here) to download and install Ad-Aware Free Antivirus.
2. Update the definition files.
3. Run a full scan of your computer.

Manual removal*

1. Terminate malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):

   reg.exe:2100
   reg.exe:2108
   reg.exe:2116
   reg.exe:2124

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

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Adobe\PrintBrmPs.exe (3361 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Adobe\credwiz.exe (15 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Desktop\keygen.exe (75 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\pic0.tmp (12988 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\uu (33 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\tn0010.tmp (676 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\bot.exe (59 bytes)

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

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
   "Credential® Backup® and Restore® Wizard®" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Adobe\credwiz.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.
