Beers nearly gave it me before, good job I was out.

Does it affect Macs?

smallbeer · 25-05-2005, 09:04

I think I just took out the whole of bradford.

for anyone I did send it too sorry. It was a trojan, part of the Win32.WinAd family if you need to track it down.

Mik · 25-05-2005, 09:06

I didnt open it but i doubt it would work on a mac.

oli · 25-05-2005, 09:17

Stick tried to send it to me, Norton caught it though.

Stickman · 26-05-2005, 06:42

It's ok. My homepage is a shopping portal, gay porn pops up on screen and windows keeps crashing.

Everything is back to normal.

gray · 26-05-2005, 07:02

no-one sent it to me

Brown · 26-05-2005, 07:08

here you go.

smallbeer · 26-05-2005, 07:14

haha.

Stick, have you got rid of it? My anti-virus software deletes it but when you reboot it's back.

Mik · 26-05-2005, 07:24

just remove it from the register via regedit

Stickman · 26-05-2005, 07:40

haha Listen to the expert. That won't do it.

There's loads of bits to track down. Try this:

Uninstall messenger.

Download these:

Gaobot
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

Bropia
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

Spyware Doctor
http://www.download.com/Spyware-Doct...-10377263.html

Disconnect.
Turn off system restore.
Run gaobot and bropia removals tools.
Run anti-virus. I use AVG.
Run spyware doctor.

Check for crappy folders relating to shopping or bargains in program files.
Check these for dodgy .exes etc:
c:\Documents and Settings\User
c:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp

Delete these if they're left:
c:\windows\system32\webrebates.exe
c:\windows\system32\winis.exe

Think that's it.
