Regarding "asam.exe", the infected user was a non-privileged/non-administrator Windows account, therefore no registry modification occurred, and therefore the infection didn't affect other users on a shared PC.

"asam.exe" was found stored at C:/Documents and Settings/(user's name)/Local Settings/Application Data/asam.exe. (user's name) will be the user's Window's login id.

The removal process was to log in as administrator and simply delete the file at the aforementioned location. There should be no exe files in the /Application Data/ folder. None. Delete them all.
