There is a new trojan virus going around that makes ppl keep going away when they dont want to. Has anybody else had this yet?? and wut can you do about it?
it also puts this in your away message:
check it out http://www.ugleague.net/profile.scr !!
Can you provide more information if you have it?
* How it is spread
* What the away message is
* What has been tried to remove it.
etc…
For the sake of everyone else…I ran the file.
Right now, as far as I can see, it places ‘A0L.exe’ in c:WINDOWSsystem32. It also adds a startup entry to your registry so it starts every time you login to windows.
** If A0L.exe exists, run a full system virus-scan.
Edit * The O in A0L is a Zero (0), not the letter O.
I figured out how ppl are getting this its in some ppls profile its looks like a buddy profile link..ex.Veiw My BuddyProfile! if you click a profile link like that and it trys to download something dont do it!!
Do you know how to get rid of it?¿?
