Remove Daboom. Description and removal instructions

Title: Daboom
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (83 / 100)

Daboom is a dangerous Internet worm distributed by e-mail in messages with infected attachments. The parasite exploits certain Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express vulnerabilities that allow it to instantly infect the system when the user previews or opens a malicious letter. In most cases there is no need to manually run the attachment. Daboom sends infected messages to all the addresses it find in the Windows Address Book and cached web pages (.html and .htm files). The worm includes an integrated backdoor that notifies the attacker by e-mail and gives him unauthorized remote access to a compromised computer. The intruder can manage files, alter system configuration, download and run arbitrary programs, collect system and network information and control the CD-ROM drive. Daboom can also act as a keylogger recording all user keystrokes and passwords. The parasite runs on every Windows startup.
