Link Sending Disease Cure

Oct 11, 2005 15:25

For those who have not already clicked on the link, "so cool in this" or something along those lines sent by people on your buddy list, don't do it. It is a virus that automatically loads itself every time you start your computer and sends a link to everyone on your buddy list with the link mentioned above. When you click it you download a file disguised as an HTML document and running it will load it.

For those who have already run this program, the simplest way to get rid of it would be to go to Start>Run and type "msconfig" (without quotations) into the box. A window will pop up, click on the startup tab and un-check the "lockx" files. There may be more then one so go through the whole list and un-check them all. After this is done, hit apply and close the window. Once you restart your computer, the program will not run.
