Remove Repad. Description and removal instructions

Title: Repad
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (50 / 100)

Repad is an Internet worm that spreads through file sharing networks using Kazaa peer-to-peer application. Once executed, the parasite displays a dialog box with the text "Adult content inside. Must be over 18. Do you wish to continue?". If the user replies positively, the worm installs itself to the system and shows another similar message. Then it creates infected files in Kazaa shared folder. These files look like adult movies, so some users may download and open them. On the first run Repad unexpectedly shutdowns a computer. The parasite runs on every Windows startup.
