How do i remove worm.win32.netbooster?

You have unwittingly launched a very nasty Smitfraud program that is falsely reporting “worm.win32.netbooster” as the infection. Smitfraud applications are programs that are used to download rogue security products and change the user’s desktop to display false warnings that the computer is infected with spyware. If your computer has become infected with one of these “spyware removal programs,” you probably downloaded an infected codec program when you tried to watch a video online (usually purporting to be an x-rated celebrity video) or you may have been hit by a “drive-by” installation of Smitfraud. Smitfraud attacks show fake antispyware programs popups on your screen and/or a balloon popup from the windows system tray displaying a warning message that your computer is infected with spyware (here it is falsely calling it worm.win32.netbooster) and telling you to purchase, download & install their program to remove it. Often, it will hijack your desktop and publish a warning message
