Vista - ld08.exe

04-28-2009

Yesterday I received a notice from Facebook that a movie was taken of me at
my neice's wedding, and so I went to the You Tube to view it but I was
advised to download the latest version of Adobe. I did so, with no apparent
result. The next time I rebooted my computer, One Care Firewall told me that
the program ld08.exe was trying to access the Internet.
I blocked it from doing so, and Googled ld08.exe to find out it is a virus.
I can not find it (ld08.exe) in my computer anywhere, but every time I start
my computer, One Care Firewall advises that it has blocked the program
ld08.exe again.
I can see it in my Task Manager listed in 'Processes' but I do not know
enough about computers to end it.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Thank You.
From Paul

Well for sure keep blocking it, read here and see if it helps.

Check some other places to compare details, and then you may have to
search the registry for what starts it executing. Be careful if you pick
a removal tool, some are really not good at all.

If the link to "YouTube" was in the e-mail "from Facebook", it is very
likely that the e-mail didn't actually come from Facebook, and the link
didn't actually go to YouTube. The link went to a YouTube lookalike
(fake) site that tricked you into downloading the virus, by telling you
that you needed the newest Adobe flash or something.

Don't believe ANYTHING that you see in an e-mail. It's likely that
millions of people were sent an e-mail that said "a video was taken of
them at a niece (or nephew)'s wedding", and those people who have
attended a wedding recently might click on the link in the e-mail. This
is what is meant by the term "phishing" although the "phishing" e-mails
more often claim that your bank has upgraded its software.

Links in an e-mail can LIE about where they take you to. Beware.

In hindsight, the best thing for you, would have been to have asked your
niece if there really was a video, and if so, what search terms to use,
and you could have typed www.youtube.com manually in the address bar of
your browser (Internet Explorer, or Firefox, or whatever) and searched
for the video.

NEVER click on a link that is in an e-mail.

IF a site tells you that you need the newest Adobe/flash/whatever,
manually type www.adobe.com into the address bar and get the newest
"thing" from there. NEVER download a program like this from a video
site.

Hope this helps.
