Propagation

A worm spreads 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:296
   reg.exe:312
   reg.exe:304
   reg.exe:1944
   reg.exe:2036
   97a591f71812bdc908bdce86676ac6e9.exe:832
   

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

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\cvtres.exe (1 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\svchost.exe (1 bytes)
   

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

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Windows Live" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\winini.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.
