It's called: WUAMGRD.exe
Which is in my System32 file
And McAfee calls it Morphine?
Help Please!!!!!!!!

It will ask you to fix selected problems, and that should work!The other option is to search your computer for WUAMGRD.exe and delete it.
This specific trojan can get nasty so it is advised to resolve this promptly!
email me if you need more help

Go here and run Trend Micros free online scan, that should kill it.
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/If for some reason it doesn't, try this:
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, then click the Processes tab.
In the list of running programs locate the file WORM_AGOBOT.LVSelect the file(s), then press the End Task button.
To check if it has been deleted from working memory, close Task Manager, and then open it again.
Close Task Manager.Open Registry Editor. To do this, click Start>Run, type Regedit, then press Enter.
In the left panel, double-click the following:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>
Windows>CurrentVersion>Run
In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
Microsoft DirectX=”wuamgrd.exe”
In the left panel, double-click the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>
Windows>CurrentVersion>RunServices;
In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
Microsoft DirectX=”wuamgrd.exe”
In the left panel, double-click the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>
Windows>CurrentVersion>RunIn the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
Microsoft DirectX=”wuamgrd.exe”
Close Registry Editor.Reboot and check Task Manager again to make sure the file hasn't reloaded. If it has, post back because you must have a new variation of it, but I don't think this one has any hidden .DLL files like Cool Web Search has.

hi mike,
disable your system restore to flush out the virus from your restore folder. get the latest virus defs. reboot to safe mode, scan your computer with your anti-virus, delete all files it picks up, while your there also scan with spybot and adaware, delete all files they pick up, clean out your cache, temp files, history and cookie folders, clean out your recycle bin.
while in safe mode it would be a good idea to follow ranchhand's advice.
reboot to normal mode, re enable system restore.
all the best,
murve
