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:1568
   reg.exe:2764
   reg.exe:2744
   reg.exe:1220
   fixmapi.exe:2580
   AppLaunch.exe:200
   AppLaunch.exe:3788
   AppLaunch.exe:3896
   AppLaunch.exe:1932
   

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\TF54VP44GD.exe (59 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Logme (33 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Desktop\Slideshow.exe (5442 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\My Documents\My Music\fixmapi.exe (15 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\My Documents\My Music\wdmaud.exe (8281 bytes)
   %System%\d3d9caps.tmp (2644 bytes)

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

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
   "FIXMAPI 1.0 MAPI Repair Tool" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\My Documents\My Music\fixmapi.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.
