| | Re: MSN and Virus Hi, This is may be a slightly drastic. Also, I don't really recall any virus attaching itself to the Application Data folder. The real problem is the vast majority of these viruses and worms are one-hit wonders and therefore the standard virus definitions in most virus scanners may not be able to find it. Generally, these things are just running as a standard background process with a normal-appearing executable name. That being said, anyone familiar with a Windows environment shouldn't have much trouble locating and removing it manually. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Dokee" <superconductor@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OtUF$MLmIHA.3780@xxxxxx Quote: > I can two solutions to "deinfect" the MSN. > 1. delete the MSN messenger and all files (at C:\Docs and Sets\~USERNAME~\Application > Data\...) > 2. format the widows HDD (format c:\) > > Dokee > > -- > ------------------------------ > This mail was sended by: Dokee (Doktorovics) > > This mail have been licensed with GDFL, blogging or forward WITHOUT write the ORIGINAL > From: and To: is NOT ALLOWED! > This mail have been corporated with "default mail normaility". > This mail have been checked bye Nod32 virus scanner, and not contain virus. > > "Caravelle" <nonreplay@xxxxxx> az alábbiakat írta a következo üzenetben > news:ed4H13WlIHA.5956@xxxxxx Quote: >> Hello >> >> I have a virus in my messenger it keep sending files to my contacts, I tried to fixe it >> with Avast and AVG and cqn not find anything >> what can I do? >> >> TIA |
