I think defragmenting my computer worked. But I havent been on that long. Hopefully it worked

I didnt do a thing and when I started up my laptop this morning around 10:45am...nothing happened and has yet to happen.

Lol, maybe it goes away after 12 hours or something...

What kind of virus is that...?

An annoying one that got high on sugar and went to sleep and died of a coma...Just a thought...

Stop using aim and use a different IM program like trillian or gaim.

No.
Never.

Ummmmm, I wasnt talking to you...

[ssj4gogita4]

Since we're both having the same problem...I wouldve assumed you were talking to both of us.

1. Get Ewido Sucurity Suite (Free)
2. Run the smother fuzzker
3. Get Crap Cleaner (Free too) to cure the slowness of your compy.

That won't work. I've unloaded AIM, MSN, Yahoo...all to no avail...I've still got the virus, and my genius computer programming brother has gone through all the virus scans he knows of, and I'm still reformatting tomorrow.

[SizzlinSean]

Have you thought about doing a system restore?

I did, but mine got turned off somehow, so it would only go back to the exact same day I got the virus, so I couldnt do that...

You better not.

I have a couple things to show you before you do that. I bet you havent tried these things, yet. IM or MSN me

[RandomDude18]

You talking about housecall?

[~angelene's dreams]

i think i've got it whipped into submission.  jimmy spend about 2 hours trying different viral scans.  he figured out which file that KelVir infected in windows.

i'm crossing my fingers.  o_O;;

Is that the virus that gives it to everyone on the person who got infected on their buddy list or something? I really don't know that much about how to stop them. But the AIM warning is for a reason. Never except files unless you REALLY trust the person.

It gives you a link to some vBulettin link (no, not vBulletin), saying "is this your profile?" and it gives you a file to download. I think it's called "unknown.pif" or something. Tom tried sending it to me, but I was smart enough not to accept a file from Tom, let alone something with that file name.
