    The worm is a dangerous for a system. It enters in a computer through social networking sites. Like Orkut or Facebook. The worm target a user by generating spam messages. The messages enters a user profiles on the site. The phrases is messages are unique like LOL, My friend catched you on hidden cam, etc. The message then contains a link to Youtube. When you click on the link it directs you to the Youtube site. This contains a video clip. When you try to play the video a message appear which will prompt your for latest flash player update. If you accept it then it download a file called codecsetup.exe in your machine. This file is also a type of network worm. And here when you run it your system is infected. Download the below tool to clean the same.

    The files created by the worm is fbtre6.exe in the Windows directory. You can search it and delete the same. Then click on Start > Run > type regedit. In the registry editor delete the following value - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run\systray = C:\Windows\fbtre6.exe. Also delete fmark2.dat and fbtre6.exe from C:\Windows. Restart your system and run a scan.
