Description:

Removal Instructions:
Installed Software List:
You can try to uninstall products with the names listed below; for items identified by other properties or to avoid malware getting active again on uninstallation, use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) or RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) to locate and get rid of these entries.
Products that have a key or property named "{251465F6-B7A2-45BE-A8D1-09047B82E23C}_is1".
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$WINDIR>\CSC\Doublepulsar-1.3.1.exe".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\CSC\Eternalblue-2.2.0.exe".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\CSC\rundll.exe".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\CSC\ss.exe".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\CSC\unins000.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If PU.Hacktool.CSC uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) 2.x 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!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
Registry:
You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.
Delete the registry value "rundll" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\".
