winup.exe - Dangerous
winup.exe
Jeff's Story:
My PC had gotten a bad rootkit that my ISP antivirus software (powered by McAfee) could not detect, nor could fix.
I sought a solution on the Internet and discovered your product and tried out the trial.
You quickly found the rootkit and SAVED my PC!
I haven't had any problems since, and I'm extremely grateful.
Manual removal instructions:
When active the worm attempts to connect to a remote IRC server and allows a malicious user remote access to the infected computer.
In order to run automatically when Windows starts up the worm copies itself to the file winup.exe in the Windows system folder and adds the some registry entries.
These entries can be easily removed with RegRun.
