Tran,

Follow DW's advice and remove the virus, then:

there are certain things that you can do to protect yourself.


1) update you antivirus software and run a full scan of your system.
if you do not have a antivirus program... go to http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.htm and download this very good free anti virus program.

2) use a software firewall... if you don't have one.. download the free version of zonealarm from:
http://www.zonelabs.com/

this will prevent anyone from accessing your computer.

3) go to http://www.majorgeek.com/index2.html and download their free program called ad-aware 5.71.
this will remove any spy-ware that is on your systm.

4) go to: http://www.finjan.com/
and down load SurfinGuardŽ Pro 5.7 - Beta.
SurfinGuardŽ Pro protects PC users from new, unknown Internet threats by monitoring and containing the behavior of downloaded progams and active content. SurfinGuard Pro runs active content (e.g., executables, ActiveX, scripts, Windows scripting files and Java) in a protected "sandbox" called the Safe Zone that automatically blocks potentially hostile actions.

js.exploit.com is a technical trick that exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Go to microsoft.com for a patch that fixes the vulnerability. Firewalls will not stop it....
