Remove Feebs

What is Feebs and removal instructions

Feebs is a worm that spreads through file sharing networks using popular peer-to-peer clients. Once executed, the parasite installs itself to the system and runs a spreading routine. It creates infected files with meaningful names in all shared folders it finds in the compromised system. Then it runs a payload. Feebs terminates running antiviruses, firewalls, anti-trojan tools and other security-related programs and prevents them from loading on next system startup. The worm also disables the Windows Firewall and deletes few system files. In some cases it may collect certain passwords, account details and e-mail addresses. Feebs automatically runs on every Windows startup.
