The following instructions have been created to help you to get rid of "Padodo-P" manually.
Use this guide at your own risk; software should usually be better suited to remove malware, since it is able to look deeper.

Threat Details:
Categories:
trojan
Description:
Padodo is a trojan spreading via spam mails. These emails are sent with sender "Rechnung-Online@telekom.de" and they claim that the telephone bills were attached. When the attachments are executed the trojan installs in the Windows folder under the name "csrss.exe" (attention: this is NOT the original Windows file "csrss.exe" in the system32 folder!) and opens ports thus making the computer vulnerable to attacks from the internet.
Removal Instructions:
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$FAVORITES>\carotid.ru.url".
The file at "<$FAVORITES>\xakepy.ru.url".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\syslg.dll".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\csrss.exe".
A file with an unknown location named "open.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Padodo-P uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Final Words:
If neither Spybot-S&D nor self help did resolve the issue or you would prefer one on one help,
Please read these instructions (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) before requesting assistance,
Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) where a volunteer analyst will advise you as soon as available.
