I would like to say that RegRun has helped me on more than 1 occasion when it comes to spyware/adware by letting me know automatically that a piece of it got added to Windows startup. There is so much spyware/addware out there today it's hard to imagine being without RegRun. I like many other features too including the daily registry backups and file protection.

Attach: message.zip with "message.html" file.
This HTML file drops the FOO.EXE file (worm copy) into the "Downloaded Program Files" directory and runs it.
(To do this action the worm exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer: allows a Java script in the HTML file to get access to disk files without any prompts.)
Worm copies itself to the Windows directory under the name "videodrv.exe" and registers this file in the system registry autorun key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
VideoDriver = %WinDir%\videodrv.exe
The worm also creates the following files in the Windows directory:
exe.tmp - worm in HTML file
zip.tmp - worm's HTML file in ZIP archive (method "stored" - no compression).
eml.tmp - list of emails found on infected machine
(The worm uses its own ZIP file format supporting routine.)
Use RegRun Startup Optimizer to remove it from startup.

Removal: videodrv.exe is removed by RegRun.
