Hi umeshnova,
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32passmailc.html
Read the advanced info there on Win32:Passma worm .  Do a full scan with the free A-squared scanner for it can detect and clean this as well. If this does not find it, you have double checked. You can download it here:http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/. What Firewall have you installed?

greets,
