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:1188
   Software.exe:228
   

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

   %System%\InstallDir\svchost.exe (33 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\x7FkW6biJejNWpbS.dat (360 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\Software.exe (4708 bytes)

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

   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "HKLM" = "%System%\InstallDir\svchost.exe"
   
   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "HKCU" = "%System%\InstallDir\svchost.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.
