Need Help with Computer Virus - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**juptVatoSoito** · 08-25-2006, 07:00 AM

I have a

virus that uses my computer to send spam email from my email account. It is the \"W32.Netsky.B@mm\" virus.

I

used Panda Anti Virus to try and get rid of it, only it never took care of it for some reason. I so Norton Anti

Virus covers it, so I tried to download NAV, but when it was unzipping it was telling me the files couldn\'t be

uncompressed.

Then I tried \"Sting\" from Network Associates. Whenever I run it, it sits forever on one

certain file (which probably has a virus) but it doesn\'t do anything about it. I can leave it for an hour, and I

come back, the thing isn\'t doing any scanning or hasn\'t stung any virus.

Anyone who knows about this stuff,

I\'d appreciate help getting W32.Netsky.B@mm off my pc.

This\'ll get rid of anything

you may have on your PC.

**PPActionnGuys** · 07-19-2006, 07:00 AM

Do

you have winzip or another good decompressor? I think there are about 20 versions of the virus, so you might have to

be sure which you are dealing with. You can google your way to an individual fix, if that\'s really what you have.

I had a similar problem, but I think NAV got rid of it. I\'m not sure Housecall can get it.

as

a last resort you can always reformat your hard drive and re-install your software.

That\'s pretty

drastic. You end up losing a lot of important stuff that way.

Some of the later viruses try to defend

themselves ny making it more difficult to download fixes. Bastards are getting cleverer every day. Have somebody

else download the anti virus software, unzip it and burn it onto a CD for you. A lot of public and college libraries

will do that. Then run it from the CD.

I have

winzip but its been wierd unzipping file as I don\'t seem to alway be able to recover the file.

Anyway, thanks

for all your help. I ran Panda Anti Virus again, this time including my zip drive, and it seems to have made it

impossible to save on the zip disk again and I also lost important inventory files.

Piece of crap. As for the

specific virus I had, I downloaded the removal tool for the specific virus I had (that version of it) and it didnt

find

squat!

I am wondering, should I turn off \"systems

restore.\"? Problem is, if I do this, I will really dig myself in a hole if something goes wrong. The only reason

whyI am worried about this harmless virus to begin with is my ICP has sent letters threatening to stop service if

the spam from my IP doesn\'t stop. Having alreadly lost files crucial to the business, I don\'t care to lose

anymore trying to get this f-cken virus off. But I also don\'t want my ICP to cease service.

Thanks Pancho. I went to that one

before and couldn\'t figure out how to use it because of my own stupidity. I am trying it now though and it seems

to be work. Let\'s see if it can get anything.

Don\'t want a virus? Then don\'t accept blowjobs from Tyrone the Crackhead.

You are in NYC, eh?

bjf if

you need a copy of a antivirus contact me and I will hook you up with the best....

**8jIDXQ80** · 04-18-2006, 07:00 AM

What OS

are you running??
If it is W2K or XP, go into the \"services\" control panel and stop and disable the \"SMTP\"

service. This should stop your computer from sending the e mails(SMTP= Simple Mail Transport Protocol)

Thanks TM. I admit I do feel

like a filthy whore. And why is Tyrone the Crackhead jumping threads? He\'s my Tyrone, no one

else\'s.

I\'ll let you know if i need an anti virus program.

**8jIDXQ80** · 10-04-2006, 07:00 AM

SMTP is

an e mail \"server\" that comes with the OS, it should come disabled by default (unless you are running an e mail

server) but that\'s not Micro$oft\'s way. It is not an e mail \"client\" that you use (Eudora, Outlook etc. )

to send e mail. So short answer \"no\"!

It should be noted that some viri come with their own SMTP servers

built in. So you will definately have to get rid of the virus. If I remember properly this particular virus also is

set to launch a DDOS attack against some specific sites (in Germany I think--the target has changed a couple of

times) at the end of April.

Good Luck!!

That would hurt! I

know that penises can get viruses just like computers.
