| 331602 | 2005-03-07 10:53:00 | I would get rid of MSN for a start! Try something like gaim, or some other IM program that uses MSN if u still want to use MSN . The only thing is, if u use a webcam, this program may not allow u to use it, unless the other person uses the same program as u . See if this site picks anything up . ca . com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan . aspx" target="_blank">www3 . ca . com If u have XP SP2, look under the address bar . U have to allow an activex file to install, before it'll scan . Can u use a browser?? Also, if u use XP go to start/run and type in msconfig, tell us whats in the startup tab, (Thats if this isnt disabled), or bring up task manager (if this isnt disabled) . Tell us if there are any strange names in here under processes . |

| 331603 | 2005-03-07 10:58:00 | I couldnt see any strange looking files in start up. NyMcTray? is that normal? I think it is about time I went to bed.. Would a good idea, if there isnt too much to lose, to be reformat? |

| 331604 | 2005-03-07 11:06:00 | Up to u Tribomb. I wouldn't install MSN again tho! Your sure its NyMcTray not NVmctray which is part of the Nvidia drivers?? I dont know what NyMcTray belongs to. |

| 331605 | 2005-03-07 11:21:00 | to fix it, go to c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and open the hosts file with notepad and delete everything in it then save it, this will fix your problems | Tux (606) | ||
| 331606 | 2005-03-08 04:12:00 | Thanks for that, i can go to symantec now! I dont know the name of the virus though, it seems it has spread fast, alot of people at school had it. AVG picked up on a file named 'Fatso.A' and then a heap of flies that are the ones that it uses in MSN, 'me on holiday' 'LOL that ur pic', and the one that got me, Jenifer Lopeze, and heaps more. Can I be sure im safe now that AVG Picked up on it? |
