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.A worm can spread its copies through the MSN Messanger.

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):

   4650f387bdabe500cc6cbff217a5a11c.exe:132
   4650f387bdabe500cc6cbff217a5a11c.exe:1648

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

   %WinDir%\csrss.exe (7345 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\res.ico2 (601 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\aut1.tmp (1137 bytes)
   

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

   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Remote Registry Service" = "csrss.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.
