Spyware Removal Instructions

Win32/Netsky Worm Information:

The Netsky family is a mass-mailing worm that targets computers running certain versions of Microsoft Windows. The worm sends itself to e-mail addresses that it finds on the infected computer. When a user opens an e-mail attachment that contains a Netsky variant, the worm is activated. Some variants copy the worm to network-share folders. Some variants contain a backdoor component and perform denial of service (DoS) attacks

Win32/Netsky creates a value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
This causes the worm to run when Windows restarts.

The worm spreads primarily by using its own SMTP engine to send itself as an attachment to e-mail addresses it finds on the infected computer. It may also spread by copying itself to network-share folders on the infected computer.
