Eh. I can't direct connect to DisruptiveIdiot because of it, I can't send files to HyperHacker because of it, same with Kefka... And with plenty of other people. But it works fine with AIM users and users of AIM clones. It's a problem that only comes up when talking to Trillian users. | |||

Meep. Anyone for a mass DDoS on that IP? On an unrelated note, TMCNet has a big ugly ad transition page, not to mention non-working (or just plain no) line breaks, and therefore sucks. (And interesting how it appears they tried to rip off Cnet. ) They even link to the page that supposedly gives you the virus without a warning. (I just get a 403 though. Seeing how I'm using Firefox and know a thing or two about not downloading and running random .COM files, I figured what the hell. ) BTW, Kyouji's right. Trillian's nice in that it protects you from these, but otherwise, it's utter crap. Problem is, the other clients are even crappier. I can't DC to a lot of people unless I'm the one to start the connection, and some people simply cannot send or recieve files to/from me. The real problem, though, is the 325786578659872 window bugs, because they're "too good" for standard windows. |

I got it this morning when NSNick's screen name apparently automaticly IMed me and sent it to me... AOL saved it and opened it automaticly. It's been wreaking havoc on my computer, and I don't know how to get it off! To those who got it and got rid of it, what do I do? It loaded lots of crap into my program files that I can't delete. One of the things automatically comes up when I restart my computer with "Hide PORN on your PC!!!", or something to that extent. It was really embarassing for my dad to use the computer and see that, and then me having to explain what happened. What the heck do I do? | |||

Open the comp in safe mode and get rid of every unusual executable file from 4/23/05, PARTICULARLY those from at 9:07 AM. Perhaps, however, it assigns a random date for these files, so also be on the lookout for things that have a really strange date you just know isn't right that are located in C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32. Also get rid of the stuff it put on there from the day you got it, though you'll likely have to shut down their processes first (Ctrl+Alt+Del > Processes > select, End Process). Note that svchost.exe is not a process that you should be able to end your own if you don't have administrative access, and it should not be located in C:/WINDOWS/, it should be in C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 so if you find in the standard Windows folder, get rid of it. Heh. This is what happened to me, I didn't recognize that until I talked to HyperHacker about it which is why it kept coming back - it was disguised as that particular system file. Note that this assumes you have Windows XP, as I do. However, unlike you, I managed to get rid of a fair portion of its files before restarting and prevent most of the other ones from popping up again through msconfig, so I'm not really certain if this will solve things for you (though I should hope it does.)

Yes, you need to nuke \Windows\svchost.exe. The real svchost is in \WIndows\System32. Of course that's just from what Kyouji said... It could very well have random names or something nasty like that. | |||

"omg check this out!" "this" links to http://jon.xavia.org/aim.com. New variant going 'round, I'm afraid. |
