Dear All, My sincere apologies to those who may have been affected by a virus in my computer the last couple of days. My apologies to those who I in turn may have affected unintentially in the last 24 hours. A big thankyou to Jason for eradicating the horrible little bug. Anyone who has sent me messages in the last 2 days please can you send em again --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Chris Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: To all of you that received a virus from me, sorry but I have the solution. Run a recent virus checker. If it is Norton ensure you go on-line and update it now! If it shows up 3 files KERN32.EXE - this is a virus, it should be in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM Folder hksdll.dll - As above INETD.EXE - As above Your Virus killer should sort out INETD.EXE but will not be able to delete the others. So, get a floppy disk. Insert in A: Drive Go to Control Panel Go to Add / Remove Programs. Double click Select Startup Disk tab Press Create Disk (this can take a while). The infected files may differ on your PC. If so: Goto Search... in Start Menu Select - For files and Folders Insert file names and search for files (ensure you check Advanced options box - check all subfolders) Make note of file names and location With Startup Disk in A: drive re-boot machine You will see a start menu. Select Start without CD support You will now see A:> Type c: You will now see C:> Assuming the files are the same as mine type C:\windows\system You will now see C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\> Type attrib -r -a -s -h KERN32.EXE (or your filename) Press enter You will now type del KERN32.EXE (or your filename) Type attrib -r -a -s -h hksdll.dll (or your filename) You will now type del hksdll.dll If INETD.EXE exists on your hard drive then do the same for that if your virus killer did not sort it out first time. I know it's long winded but you have got to do it... The virus may have invaded your registry so now type scanreg command Your screen should be blue with a number of dates. Go back to about 09/09/01 and restore. This should sort it out. Remove disk from A: and restart. All should be well. --- ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiMu.aVzSEg Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [email protected] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
