It creates processes with numbers ranging from 2 to 10 integers and these processes ping to several ip addresses and make the system vulnerable to attacks. Enough with the story.

Removal instructions for Dialer KWKB or 041.exe:
- As mentioned earlier, this Malware also targets the %WINDOWS% folder. Most probably, it is present in the System32 folder and the System folder.
Open the Task Manager and go to the Processes tab. Kill all the processes with the names as random numbers.
Now look for the files 041.exe and update2p.exe in the WINDOWS folder and delete them from the folder. If you are too lazy to do that, just a quick search using the Windows search will do.
You have deleted the virus. But just to be sure of it, look up for any file that contains random numbers as its name probably consisting of a .exe or .dat extension and delete them.
Now sit back and relax. Your system is free from Dialer KW.
