Default HELP !! MSN virus

hi, recently my friend had sent me this file and asked me to accept ( it a virus) it at msn. I never thought it is a virus beacuse usually there will be only file or link but this time there is a row of words that say " hey, which girl is more pretty. The bule or the black ( cant really remember word by word ) " then the zip file is there for you to accept.
After i accept, i un zip the folder, a icon is there and i click it ( i thought is some window to open the pic ) and that is how i gt the virus. The virus will "hang" your com for a while and conversation window keep appearing as the virus is speading to all my contact. Most of my friend is inform that that is a virus and did not accept the file.

I been scaning my com at housecal, lavasoft ad-aware and Mcfee but after deleting all the virus it found, THIS MSN VIRUS STILL SPREADING.


pls help. asap. thx.

Usually when you do virus scans that are connecting to the net somehow its best to disable your net connection while you scan/delete it

My sister got a virus on my computer through a supposed "youtube" video, turned out to be some MRI.exe application that replicated and made startup programs that looked like vital system process. Also about a week later i got a Firewall detection that the same virus had edited some settings and was allowing full access to my pc.

Hate4lifeatviruses :laughing:

lololololololol you have a worm lolololololol :happy:


Well i found msnmsg.exe in your log file which is a RBOT-GO worm.

I recommend shutting down your net connection and running as many virus scanners as possible (Avg,Kasper and maybe 1-2 others, you also may need to edit registry info)

This will be very difficult so i probaly recommend just reformating instead because otherwise you will have to go through alot of hassel
