have u scanned ur pc for virus??

have u tried to delete that mail???(was the message sent via email or msn msge)

USE NOD32 antivirus. THAT IS going to solve your problem for sure!

If it doesn't (RARE CASE ), use kaspersky antivirus.....

If you are finding any problem to find the antivirus, PM me....
B.O.L

 

You got this virus from yahooo mail?
I got one.. but my system is working fine till now and this is the explanation i got for that.

Symantec on Monday noted a new JavaScript worm that exploits an unpatched vulnerability in Yahoo Web mail. This vulnerability enables scripts embedded in HTML e-mails to be run by the user’s browser, which are normally blocked by Yahoo Mail for security reasons.
The worm, JS.Yamanner@m, spreads from person to person when the user opens the e-mail that is originally sent by the worm. The worm then sends itself to the user’s contacts that also use Yahoo Mail, while simultaneously sending those e-mail addresses to a remote server on the Internet.
Only those using contacts with an e-mail address that is @yahoo.com or @yahoogroups.com will be affected by this. Symantec Security Response is currently categorizing JS.Yamanner as a Level 2 threat.

 

get some antivirus update it and run a scan on ur computer......that solves it!

 

i scanned my comp, and it found 15 infected files. i went to the place where they are stored, and deleted it, but after 2 secs or so, it reappears :S wts rong? i got it thru chat... (btw i use eTrust antivirus)

 

Hey lavina how r u...
well I sugest u Should Install ur window...again...
N if u have a Heavy Pc like p4 3.0 or more then Install Mcafee
Or if u have like 2.4 ...512 ram or 256 ram then Install BIT DEFENDER...
i suggest u should Install Bit defender Bcz Mcafee Makes ur Pc damn Slow...
If u need bit defender u can Go to www.download.com and Download from ther n then if u need Crack Then Pm me ...am always there :
tc bye

 

get McAfee or Norton.
and run a scan.
it'll automatically show u the infected files and destroy them.

if it doesn't kepp deleting the file untill it doesn'r re-appear.(hey it worked for me)



EDIT- get McAfee, norton doesn't work that well.if u can't get that then go in for Norton.

and don't download riff-raff like spyware spotter etc.

and if that doesn't help-
format ur drives:

@faiq
McAfee doesn't make my comp run slow.it runs as it used to:think:

 

That happens bcoz the virus makes a dll file in your system which generates the virus again! So, you need to get to the root of that Fcukin' virus . I tried etrust once, but that didn't work well. NOD32 did the job for me.
Use NOD32 and deep scan your system. Also scan the System restore folders (Those are nothing but the home for the viruses , disable system restore if you can).. Hope fully your problem will be solved

 

@lavina

I can suggest a total security solution. Its ZoneAlarm IS suit 6.1. It will surely get reed of all the viruses. and its not a resource hog either, and it has a firewall so in future u wont hav such probs.

 

Did you find the name of the virus infecting your comp form the scan?
If you did google this name you will find some solotion somewhere.

 

Seems like you havae been infected with some sort of a mass emailing worm. I suggest you try escan antivirus software.

 

i think antivirus companies themselves make virus .... i uninstalled all antivirus softwares long back and no virus and shit since then

 

^^ :shock: :shock: :think:

 

i formatted my laptop, thread purpose solved. i request the mods to close this thread
