    Don’t bother trying to remove this until you’ve applied Microsoft’s update KB958644 to your system, or it will be immediately infected again by other computers on the network. Windows update won’t do this if you’re infected because the worm blocks windows update. You must manually download http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3205 or just search for KB958644. That fixes the vulnerability that allows the worm to spread.
