Remove Wowlook. Description and removal instructions

Title: Wowlook
Type: Worms	Severity scale: (53 / 100)

Wowlook is an Internet worm that spreads by e-mail through messages with infected attachments. Once the user opens such an attachment, the parasite secretly installs itself to the system and runs a spreading routine. It sends bogus e-mails to all the addresses it finds the Windows Address Book and gathers from Outlook Express. Then Wowlook runs a payload. It searches for the World of Warcraft installation. If it finds one, it attempts to steal passwords and login details to this online game. Stolen data is transferred to a predetermined web site. Wowlook also modifies local web and program source files to insert links to malicious sites. The worm runs on every Windows startup.
