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.
A program can register a device notification with the help of RegisterDeviceNotification. So it is notified when a USB device is plugged and then the worm copies itself to the USB device plugged into the affected computer.
A worm can spread its copies through the MSN Messanger.

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. Scan a system with an anti-rootkit tool.
   
2. Terminate malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):
   

   %original file name%.exe:1568
   %original file name%.exe:2552
   

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

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temp\c731200 (9 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\desktop.ini (67 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Identities\Upwiwc.exe (673 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\c731200 (673 bytes)

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

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "Upwiwc" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Identities\Upwiwc.exe"

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.
