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
- Click (here) to download and install Ad-Aware Free Antivirus.
- Update the definition files.
- Run a full scan of your computer.
Manual removal*
