Dewin is a backdoor that can be used by an attacker to install unwanted programs from a website to the victim machine. When started it copies itself to Windows Directory as 'Winreg.exe'. This copy of the file is added to the registry as
'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\SystemReg'
- Locate and remove the registry key
'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\SystemReg'
- Reboot the machine
- Instruct F-Secure Anti-Virus to delete the infected file
