Although I am not sure if the virus actually did anything bad. However when removing uTorrent my symptoms also disappeared. When I googled it no one really gave symptoms so I guess it's not that harmful.

Re: Worm
Get an antivirus,you can try the free one to download. Its called AVG. Its not such a good antivirus but its better than nothing. An antivirus should remove the worm. Otherwise format your hdd. Unfortunate I know.

What I think is really, really scary is that you trust websites like this one, especially sites like these that install ransomware....that does absolutely nothing....
sigh

Here's how you remove the virus, in point form:
1 - format your PC and reinstall Windows
It's been on your machine so long now that removing it will probably be impossible.

Re: Worm
Always trusting the first link on google, is like your first Russian Roulette homosexual experience in jail, you always end up with a big, bald, butt ugly transgender dude that just wants to cuddle.....First link on a Google search - whats not to trust
If I do ever end up in jail, I'd hope to God that my big, bald, butt ugly cell mate just wants to cuddle!!!

Re: Worm
No winking in thread after given comments.
Also, you both lost out. Stuart already won this thread.
Mike, I know it is a pain, but some viruses are only ever fully removed with a format/reload.
You might be able to fully remove what you have, just pointing out hat you might have to be harsh with the critter.
Sad but true.

Re: Worm
It seems like its gone from my PC.. My AV hasnt detected its activity again.. The only thing leaving me suspicious is that google chrome runs on startup when its disabled and not running physically. Also my RAM usage is about 1.4GB average.. Is this kinda normal?

Re: Worm
LOL Stuart! You were hilarious in this thread Sir
Now give Mike a break lol, he's not used to your Mzansi humour
Mike aint half bad with a PC... why all you folk telling him to format for an AUTORUN worm?? God these things come and go all the time...
The payload for these worms is diddly squat, why all the fuss Mike? Grab some tools off the net and clean your PC and you'll be fine...hell you could leave that autorun worm on there and still not even notice the difference (most of the time anyway). Worst I've seen it do to a PC is change the HDD icons in My computer and create an "open with" dialog box everytime one double clicks on a drive.
Oh, and you might wanna brush up on your googling buddy
peace!
