Network activity (URLs)

No activity has been detected.

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 Worm'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 malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):
   

   reg.exe:1600
   reg.exe:1784
   reg.exe:1728
   reg.exe:1624
   d74beea5ac661a4782988fccc1e17906.exe:1644

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\loot (33 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\1pix4yja\lakwvm3x.exe (307 bytes)

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

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "hls0wexjhw03xjqzhwtnpu2l" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\\lakwvm3x.exe"
   
   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "h2d3pfep3zrx25s5rlosya4o" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\\lakwvm3x.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.
