Rootkit activity

No anomalies have been detected.

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 Backdoor's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

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 the original Backdoor's process (How to End a Process With the Task Manager).
2. Delete the original Backdoor file.
   
3. Delete or disinfect the following files created/modified by the Backdoor:
   

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Cookies\index.dat (1060 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Cookies\Current_User@whatismyipaddress[1].txt (206 bytes)

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

   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "weby" = "%System%\joloceg.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.
