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.

The Worm creates the following process(es):

reg.exe:1324
reg.exe:904
reg.exe:492
reg.exe:1592
%original file name%.exe:1552
%original file name%.exe:1156

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

L5EDMC4O56.EXE:1056
rundll32.exe:212

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:1324
   reg.exe:904
   reg.exe:492
   reg.exe:1592
   %original file name%.exe:1552
   %original file name%.exe:1156

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\logs (33 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\L5EDMC4O56.exe (161 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\JOSIE1.JPG (31 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\L5EDMC4O56.EXE (179 bytes)

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

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Windows Defender" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\L5EDMC4O56.exe"
   
   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Windows Defender" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\L5EDMC4O56.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.
