Remove Loxbot.c. Description and removal instructions

Title: Loxbot.c
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (70 / 100)

Loxbot.c is an Internet worm, which uses AOL Instant Messenger to spread through messages containing malicious links that silently download and install the parasite. Once executed, Loxbot.c runs its payload and spreading routine. The worm activates an integrated IRC-controlled backdoor, which gives the attacker unauthorized remote access to the compromised computer. It allows the intruder to download and execute arbitrary files, update the worm and perform other harmful actions. Loxbot.c also disables the Windows Firewall, Security Center and few other Windows essential components. The parasite automatically runs on every Windows startup.
