Remove Magflag. Description and removal instructions

Title: Magflag
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (57 / 100)

Magflag is a rapidly spreading Internet worm that propagates by e-mail in messages with infected attachments and through file sharing networks using popular peer-to-peer applications. Once executed, the parasite injects malicious code into essential Windows components, registers itself in the system and runs a spreading routine. Magflag scans the system for e-mail addresses, collects them and sends harmful letters there. It also searches for executable files in the shared folders of Kazaa, eDonkey2000, LimeWire, iMesh and Morpheus programs and infects them. The worm attempts to download from the Internet and execute potentially dangerous files. It has the ability to bypass Windows firewall. Magflag runs on every Windows startup.
