YAHOO MESSENGER VIRUS ATTACK
Have you ever opened an executable folder on your USB, and suddenly your Yahoo Messenger opened without you opening it manually?
That's the virus that sends unknown links to your contacts in Yahoo Messenger. Those links spreads virus on your computer once you visit them. So beware of those.
*If you don't have any antivirus on your computer. Try these steps to manually remove them on your computer:
1. Start Menu >> Run
2. Copy and paste the lines below to the run box.
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
3. Delete the files svhost32.exe from your computer and temp folder after killing the process.
-Or better yet download avira antivirus, install it on your computer. Then update the antivirus. Then finally, full scan your computer.
-The only effect if you try to delete it with an antivirus software. It will also delete the auto.vbs file on your Windows Drive C:(where you installed your operating system). The antivirus deletes the auto.vbs because the real auto.vbs file has been replaced by a virus.
But there's no serious effect if the auto.vbs is deleted, your computer can still run normally(for me).
