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:540
    reg.exe:484
    reg.exe:744
    reg.exe:368

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

    %WinDir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log (1192 bytes)
    %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\mahnoor.exe (59 bytes)
    %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\s (32 bytes)
    %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Winamp\bridgemigplugin.exe (5441 bytes)
    %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Winamp\FlashUtil__ActiveX.exe (17 bytes)
    %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\My Documents\Dota2 Maphack v17.exe (173 bytes)

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

    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
    "Microsoft .NET Framework v1.0 compatibility" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Winamp\FlashUtil__ActiveX.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.
