There are more and more viruses passing around the
msn messenger contact list.
This page will show you the way to totally remove the virus, spyware
or adware.
How you got the virus?
You got this virus from a friend on your contact list. (Don't pick up
the phone now and yell at your friend yet!)
They don't even know that they are passing the virus, they are passing
them because they got it from another friend from their msn messenger contact list.
You will see a message from your friend with something like "I put
your picture on your blog, see if it looks ok." then you will receive a file request.
The file names are random, something like "PICxxx.zip". Once you
opened it, you got the virus and you will pass on the virus automatically on msn messenger without
notice.
Symptoms:
- Your computer will be slower than usual.
- There might be Ads popping up to your computer.
- Your mouse might disappear.
- You might not be able to open "My Computer".
- Your internet will get slower
- and you will keep sending the same virus with the random message
and the files to your friends in your msn messenger contact list.
Remove the
virus:
- Close your msn messenger (Avoid it to send the same virus to your
friends)
- Click "Start" (Restart your computer if the cursor doesn't
work)
- Click "Run"
- Type "msconfig"
- Go to the "Startup" tab.
- Look for a file with the name "xxxsvc.exe" and make it
unchecked.
- Your computer will have to restart. (Your computer should be
faster now)
- Use Netcom3 spyware remover to remove all the spywares in your
computer.
Your computer is safe now, to prevent it happens again in the future,
when a friend send you files through msn messenger, ask questions to make sure the USER sends you this
file but not the virus sending you this.
