ReCenT YM ViRuS AttaCk!

Hello dear friends... have been a long time since i last blogged.. these maybe due to the following reasons... A)my computer is infested with a bug. B)had been out of town. C)had been busy watching a tv series.. me want ming dao!!! wheeee!!

Ahem, back to business... to all those who had been infected by a Virus... (a little info on the virus -- it will automatically send messages to all ur buddy list in ym to go to a site that will infect their computer and do horrible stuffs. Like disabling Task Manager and Regedit and will set ur browser to the virus site) and it will also do some of those unwanted window shaking stuffs... grrrr... In addition, it will create junk status in your YM..)

Heck yea.. it was started by my lovable brother... this is what you should do..
1. download ad-aware antivirus program : of course install it
2. if you want to be safer, you can also download spybot and noadware - these are but optional. I didn't do any of these
3. Reboot and press F8 to enter Safe mode and manually DELETE from C:\Windows\ the following:
a) svhost.exe
b) svhost32.exe
c) unwise32.exe - didn't actually see this
d) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES got rid of run svchost - and this
NOTE: if you don't go to SAFE MODE, it won't allow you to delete those files... :(
4. Your computer should be clean of those virus by now but you still want to clean your YM from the junk status... just download YM_Cleaner
