Terminating the Malware Program

Open Windows Task Manager.
On Windows 95/98/ me systems, press
CTRL+ALT+DELETE
On Windows NT/2000/XP systems, press
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, then click the Processes tab.
In the list of running programs*, locate the malware file or files detected earlier.
Select one of the detected files, then press either the End Task or the End Process button, depending on the version of Windows on your system.
Do the same for all detected malware files in the list of running processes.
To check if the malware process has been terminated, close Task Manager, and then open it again.
Close Task Manager.
*NOTE: On systems running Windows 95/98/ME, Task Manager may not show certain processes. You may use a third party process viewer to terminate the malware process. Otherwise, continue with the next procedure, noting additional instructions.

Removing Autostart Entries from System Files


A malware modifies system files so that it automatically executes at every Windows startup. These startup entries must be removed before the system can be restarted safely.

Open the SYSTEM.INI file. To do this, click Start>Run, type SYSTEM.INI, then press Enter. This should open the file in your default text editor (usually Notepad).
Under the [boot] section, locate the line that begins with:
Shell=Explorer.exe
From the same line, delete the malware path and file name:
DUST.EXE
Close the SYSTEM.INI file and click Yes when prompted to save.
Restoring AUTOEXEC.BAT

Open AUTOEXEC.BAT using Notepad. Click Start>Run, type this text string in the Open input box then press Enter:
notepad c:\autoexec.bat
Delete these entries created by the malware:
DUST.EXE
Close AUTOEXEC.BAT and click Yes when prompted to save.
