Well, i'm back here to blog again... but nothing much is happening, so i'll make this post short..
today i'm going to talk about a new MSN virus that's going around... actually, after the start of this year, there's quite alot of msn virus with code word like "image"... and they all almost come with a .zip extension... the virus i'm going to talk about today is image024.zip. recently my friend got the virus from the internet... so i as a computer personal was quite interested about it... so yesterday, i tried to accept the files that he send... and immediately after the transfer of the file, my NOD32 virus warning windows pop up. it was a Trojan inside it...
So for how the virus acts and how to cure it: This virus practically creates a auto chat bot with contacts in your msn list saying things like "look @ my new hairstyle!" and sends a file called image024.zip. now, if you really accept the file, don't worry just yet, just don't open the file and run the .exe extension file inside it. what really cause the virus is the .exe file inside. you just have to delete the image024.zip file from where you save it and it won't harm your computer a single bit.
If you really have already clicked on the .exe file inside, there's still cure for you. Just go and download antivirus program like NOD32 or other reliable antivirus, and it should clear the virus. Althought i'll recommend NOD32 because its very reliable in virus scanning... What this virus do is actually create a registry key in your registry and put the chat bot program in your WINDOWS drive... but i don't have other cure as i can't get the virus to infect my computer.
so thats all for the image024.zip cure... i'll come out with other cure if i find new virus...
