if you try to send a .exe file. you wont be able to open it.
to do it you would need it zipped first so you can open it.

From the Symantec site:
If you are on a network or have a full-time connection to the Internet, such as a DSL or cable modem, disconnect the computer from the network and Internet. Disable or password-protect file sharing, or set the shared files to Read Only, before reconnecting the computers to the network or to the Internet, because this worm spreads by using shared folders on networked computers. If you are running Windows Me or XP, turn off System Restore. For instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows documentation. Locate the file that you just downloaded. Double-click the FxKelvir.exe file to start the removal tool. Click Start to begin the process, and then allow the tool to run. Restart the computer. Run the removal tool again to ensure that the system is clean. If you are running Windows Me/XP, then re-enable System Restore. If you are on a network or if you have a full-time connection to the Internet, reconnect the computer to the network or to the Internet connection.

i had a similar problem ages ago but was passed on by sending random pics to ppl (eg funny clown) and had some message like " you gotta check this pic out", stupidly enough i accepted without question and got the virus. Ever since then i send a message saying "what is this pic, link ect", this little procedure has prevented me catching 2 viruses so far.

i had this virus its actually quite easy to get rid if.
reboot your computer in safe mode(F8). go into the registery (run--->REGEDIT) and search and delete the file svshost.exe go into windowsexplorer. go to tools - folder options and tuurn hidden folders to visible and uncheck hide protected system files. now go to c:\windows\system32 and look for a folder with about 8 letters that dont make sense(eg aseoijaf) and go into it. you should see the syshost.exe file. delete it(and from the recycle bin) and it should be ok now. restart computer. |
