I haven't read the actual article, but that sounds funny. The best part is no one would know who originally wrote such a virus though. the RIAA? any company or any person. Is it a joke? As well it doesn't matter where you are from, so long as you download it it's all the same.
huh,another disgust virus come out?really bad to wipe mp3 file and useful command files.we should update our anti-virus to the latest to prevent it.how does it work?spread on internet too?if like that download is dangerous.hope to kill the virus completely before it circulate all over the world.
Good thing I don't think much of updating my anti-virus programs. It updates itself when updates are available. However, I don't usually scan. it alerts me if I downloaded a trojan/virus, so I feel safe. Imagine how many people use their P2P Programs!?
Good thing I don't have very much music on my computer! That sounds pretty bad. I'm getting sick of worrying about viruses, and updating my anti-virus software. I just don't get some people.... Still, I may live in the US, but it'll probably be here before you know it...
In the country a new version of this virus appeared. We have a very low quality kind of music (gypsy music) --- and when i say very low... i mean very very very, etc. low... you'd shoot yourself after just 10 min of listening. So the virus detects this kind of mp3 and deletes them... personally i'd give a reward to the one that created it!
Not only does it not differentiate between legal and illegal mp3 files, it also doesn't let you reboot your computer.
So does it only destroy illegal music files or eradicates the whole collection of music?
I had recently re-installed my Operating System and took a backup of all my music on a CD. So I'd be prepared to lose the music incase the virus finds its way to my system! Although, I might be on the safe side primarilly because I don't use any P2P software.

Any of you guys facing this New Folder.exe virus ??
New Folder.exe Virus It just creates an empty exe files (looks like a folder with the name of the parent folder)... it just spreads itself with all the thumbdrives and other shared memory. Will occupy your harddisks space so much...
remedies welcome...
SSVICHOST.EXE This is another virus that disables cmd prompt, task manager, regedit, msconfig and other important system functionalities. It also slows the system drastically by running other applications in the background.
Help me please.... these two drives me mad....
Norton and Avg do not detect this virus. One solution works...like booting windows in safe mode and deleting all the viruses... but it comes again when some drive is inserted.
Okay there’s a new virus going around MSN, I thought only my dumb friends were the ones accepting
it, but turns out its across the nation. So I dont know if you've got it and deleted it, or was
smart and didn’t accept it. Well it goes by (as far as I know) three names. There like "Frog
something something blender" "My new photo!" and like "Me and my lesbian friends!". Its a 17kb file,
so if some1 in your list tries to send you one the those, DONT ACCEPT! It goes into your list(takes
total control, so you cant do anything) and sends itself to EVERY1 in your friends li...
I was online, and then a friend sent me that file, and I accepted it because he's been wanting
to send me a program that improves the resolution of the screen. But then my email address was in
the file name, so I asked him what that was. To my horror, he said 'virus', but it was too
late, I already opened it and then several chat screens popped-up, and it was auto-sent to some of
the friends on the contact list. Luckily i was quick enough to ask them not to click on it. And my
norton internet security and microsoft anti spyware program detected it and asked ...
I found out that AVG Free version isn't eliminating even trojan viruses. I only have this free
version from protecting my system. Is it okay to install one more anti-virus software on top of this
AVG Free version which is already installed and updated to the latest version? I have the option of
installing Norton Anti-virus 2005. Will it cause any problem since the two softwares may use the
same source from the computer, if I install this one? Do you recommend that I should uninstall
first the existing software and install the new one? Will Norton Anti-virus 2005 ...
Hi Guys, Lately I have had this same annoying pop-up dialog box pop up that says: QUOTE NOTICE:
If your computer has been running slower than normal, it may be infected with Viruses, Adware, or
Spyware. Adwareremover2007 will perform a quick and completely FREE scan of your system for
malicious programs. Download AdwareRemover2007 for FREE now! I have scanned it with Avira
AntiVirus and ad-aware2007. They both returned infected files, which i deleted, but i still have the
pop-ups. Any ideas?...
I have AVG anti-virus on my PC, and a few weeks back it found a trojan virus on my pc. It put it
into the virus vault but could not heal it. How do I completly remove a trojan virus? Or even can
I? Do I have to download specific software to remove it, or is there some more complexe way of
going in to the system?...
ok, so a few days ago I was away from msn and when i got back i had a message from a friend on
msn..it was a link that said somthing along the lines of "hey is this really you" and listed my
email address..I clicked on the link stupidly and when i did that I got a window that said "run or
save" i didn't click on either of those, I actually restarted my laptop, but since i did that,
every time i log on I get that run/save message popping up. I am unable to fully use msn on my
computer. I cannot receive webcams and my msn is freezing frequently. /mad.gif" style="verti...
Hey guys all of a sudden in the last two days my computer has just been attacked by all types of
malicous software! and im not even kidding when almost instantly it went from running with out a
hitch to so much slow down and so many pop ups i had to run avg. 648 virus and trojans! All deleted
or moved to the vault, thought i was out of the woods than i ran adaware 202 Critical and malicous
objects I deleted them then i ran adaware again got over a hundred bad things again after the
restart and then ran adaware as well and after deleting over 1000 bad things I was still ...
**waits for everyone to stop laughing so hard** That is my reaction as well know when it comes to
security and Microsoft they know as much as I do and that is sad and as for the headlines about
their anti-virus program, code name Morro to be a threat to everyone else, unlikely. If it is
anything like Windows Defender then I am glad there are better alternatives out there such as AVG to
at least provide some protection and the simple fact that it most likely will be running some sort
of windows files I doubt it will take long for someone to crack it open and start provi...
I've only ever to my knowledge and my antivirus' knowlegde downloaded and ran 1 virus, I
thought that people who regurlarly seem to download them should be kept far far from a computer, as
far as possible I'm not talking tracking cookies i mean full blown virus' because people
seem to say it like its a normal thing, sorry i downloaded a virus on my pc. it really shocked me.
So i am asking how many times have you infected your computer. and what steps did you take to get
rid of it, i used widows restore, the best antivirus of all!!!...

Just recently, I won the virus lottery. I am connected to a very large network right now which has
several terabytes of shared files. The only real problem with this arrangement is that it leaves me
very open to attack from viruses and worms. I got win antivirus 2008 recently, and now I got worm
fujack 2. How can one man get two system destroying viruses in such a short amount of time? Just
lucky, I guess. The worm has several effects: It will plant itself in your system32\drivers folder
as spoclsv.exe It writes itself to your registry as "Svcshare" = "%System%\drive...

i already tried looking this up on the internet but to no avail since most of the literature there
seems to be outdated. A lot of the literature i read after googling "iexplore.exe virus" says that
it can be a virus if it's not run from the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ folder.
What's happening to my system is that iexplore.exe runs from that folder however, it does so
when internet explorer is not actually running! Furthermore, i have a new process running in my
processes list, rundll32.exe. I know this for a fact because I actually committed to memor...

looking email message with a link instead of a attachment. Name of the virus is called
Virus.Win32.Grum.A,, they mention that their hasn't been much damage cause by this however,
since they mention that instead of the download being attach they are providing a link. So once a
person clicks that link the virus will kick in. Their hasn't been any reports about what the
virus payload is, they do mention that it usually carries a keylogger program. Funny enough this v...

At the request of an employer, I was sent to research this virus. Lo and behold, google helped
alot. But from what i found, it's a year old. It took it's effect back in 2005, and fron
what I read, was pretty much squashed from all the publicity it got. Can anyone comment on this?
Is it still around? My employer won't go online due to irrational fears, until I tell him
otherwise....
There's a new virus nowadays that attacks computers via Skype. If you have it - it's
possible that you'd get an email FROM ONE OF YOUR CONTACTS with a message: "Have you seen the
last pix of >? {URL}". Thus the virus spreads across your contacts, and then, if you click on the
link - your computer will be infected. Beware - the epidemic only started a few days ago. If you
get that message from someone you know - ask a person, if they really sent it (a bot would not have
a logical answer ready for that). Take care, abminara....
To think the Microsoft ANI exploit and the botnet things were bad but this just top the charts, this
new variation of the Storm virus of last year gets a new powerful punch. The virus gets sent
through a password protected zip fil in which the password is contain in a image file in the email.
The email subject contains either Worm Alert!" or "Trojan Detected! so do not open and just delete
it. Also the image file will read something like UrgentNotice.gif" or "AbuseReport.gif. and the zip
file will read something like "patch-####.zip" or "removal-####.zip.". McAfee s...
With the flood of news coming about the .ani exploits it seems the tech world is recieve more news
about new hacks, viruses and other bad stuff these days. Today Kaspersky Lab created a virus that
is able to affect the Ipod, however, it is only affecting Ipod's that have linux installed and
not the standard OS that comes with Ipod. The virus goes by the name of Podloso, although they say
it doesn't show a current threat this virus does show the possiblity to install malware into
devices such as the Ipod. They also mention that the virus does not copy it self...
Well if you all remember a few months back I made a topic about the skype worm here , well it seems
to have busted out two clones one for ICQ and for MSN. the new variation showed up sometime at the
beginning of the week for these two networks and if memory serves me correctly and it usually does,
these two messenger networks are huge. Now in order for this worm to be activated a user must click
on a link and once they do that the worm will start sending messages to your contact list and get
others to click on that link as well. Although security experts rate this ...

computer was at risk. they popped up continuously at 2 min intervals. This then stopped. i have my
ntl firewall and security check this used to pop up when starting up but it doesn't do it any
more. Its then started to connect its self to the internet to a web page that just has 21600 on it.
if u shut it down it may pop up again later. At the weekend its starting to loose ...
