ADMIN: Virus warning

[Guest guest]

Namaste.

 

There is a new virus called W32/Gibe-F spreading everywhere. My PC was infected

and it bothered me all the day today. It creates so much trouble in the PC

itself, does not let Norton Anti Virus to load at start up ! Also it keeps the

memory busy, and do so much prob.

 

It creates a file named Aaouizo.exe in C:\windows and if you try to delete the

file, it will say that windows is using the file and that is why you can not

delete it. If you delete the file from DOS or safe mode, it will create more

prob and then you will not be able to run any kind of program / application, not

even notepad in your PC.

 

That is why do not open any mail from anyone subjects, "Newest network security

patch" or anything like this. Check for latest upgrade to anti virus clients.

 

When your PC is infected it will send same mail to random addresses and if the

address does not exist you will get the mail returned mail - delivery failure

etc and it will bother you. I got around 50 mails like this!

 

If you are already infected then do the following -

 

Restart your PC, press F8 when it boots, select 'command prompt only'.

 

Then type -

 

ren autoexec.bat autoexec.bak

 

Then type -

 

scanreg/restore

 

It will prompt you to restore an old registry. Restore an old registry from the

date when your PC was not infected. However, restore the latest safe registry.

 

Then restart your PC and go to C:\windows and delete the file. And also check

your full system with latest upgrade of anti virus client you use.

 

Best wishes,

Tanvir
