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:1304
   %original file name%.exe:828
   ctmons.exe:752
   ctmons.exe:1508

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 (12952 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\UuU.uUu (32 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\logs.dat (15 bytes)
   %WinDir%\ctlogs\ctmons.exe (2105 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):

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "HKCU" = "%WinDir%\ctlogs\ctmons.exe"

5. Find and delete all copies of the worm's file together with "autorun.inf" scripts on removable drives.
   
6. Reboot the computer.
   

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