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.

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):

   %original file name%.exe:564
   %original file name%.exe:1716
   taskhost.exe:1068
   taskhost.exe:1576

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\XxX.xXx (12312 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\UuU.uUu (80 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\logs.dat (15 bytes)
   %System%\Microsoft\taskhost.exe (7547 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\XX--XX--XX.txt (235 bytes)

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

   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Win32" = "%System%\Microsoft\taskhost.exe"
   
   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Win32" = "%System%\Microsoft\taskhost.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.
