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 Trojan's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.A worm can spread its copies through the MSN Messanger.

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*

   %WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb (100 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\jusched.log (347 bytes)

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

   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Remote Registry Service" = "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.
