Hi
Recently my pc has been infected with this strange virus/worm...Actually it came via my college computers. This is what i've figured out
1.it autoruns on start-up
2.it blocks orkut
3.blocks mozilla firefox!
4.Disables the hide/unhide option from folder options menu.
It also displays error msgs like this when orkut is blocked:
"Ha ha ha orkut is blocked, administrators did not write this program, guess who did??"
on mozilla:
"I dnt hate mozilla but use IE"
my avast scanner shows it as Win32:Agent-hyl[trojan] <---(not sure) but its unable to remove it, the worm just replicates too soon! :p
The removable drives are getting infected too.
And this is what the virus/worm looks like:
Its in a folder that calls itself "MicroSoftPowerPoint". Within the folder there are 3 text files, i.e a drive list, install.txt,.. an audio file, a "svchost.exe file with autohotkey attribute..." I'm really unsure what should be done inorder to get rid of this problem, and restore the registry for enabling the hide/unhide file option. kindly anyone help me please...Waiting for ur reply.
Thank you in advance!
:)
