Remove Feebs.j. Description and removal instructions

 
Title: Feebs.j

Type: Worms
Severity scale:Feebs.j severity is 71  (71 / 100)
 
Feebs.j is a rapidly spreading Internet worm, which propagates by e-mail in messages with malicious attachments and through file sharing networks using popular peer-to-peer applications. The user can accidentally infect a computer by opening an infected e-mail attachment or download the parasite as a puportedly useful program.

Once executed, Feebs.j silently installs itself to the system and runs a spreading routine. The worm sends malicious letters to all the addresses it finds on the compromised computer. It also creates infected files with meaningful names in shared folders of installed peer-to-peer programs.

The parasite's payload is comprised of several harmful functions. Feebs.j collects user sensitive information including various passwords, account details and e-mail addresses, and transfers it to the attacker. The worm terminates running antiviruses, firewalls and other security-related programs and prevents them from running on system startup. It also cripples and disables most system services and shuts down the Windows Firewall. Furthermore, Feebs.j may run a hidden web server used to spread the infection. The parasite uses an integrated rootkit component, which injects malicious code into all active processes in order to hide the worm's files and registry entries.

Feebs.j automatically runs on every Windows startup.
