399964 2005-10-28 00:46:00 OK EVERYONE HERES HOW TO GET RID OF THAT VIRUS(MAKE SURE U TELL UR FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE VIRUS THIS TOO):

First try a system restore . heres how to do:

system restore should be found in start, programs, accessories, then SYSTEM TOOLS

Restore ur pc before u got the virus . maybe 2 or more days ago .



If system restore doesn't work then DISABLE system restore like this depending on what O/S u have:

WINDOWS 98 OR WINDOWS ME

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel

Double-click the System icon . The System Properties dialog box appears

Click the Performance tab, and then click File System . The File System Properties dialog box appears

Click the Troubleshooting tab, and then check Disable System Restore

Click OK . Click Yes, when you are prompted to restart Windows



WINDOWS XP

log on ur pc as Administrator

Click Start .
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties .
Click the System Restore tab .
Select "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box
Click Apply . Then a messager will appear . CLICK "YES"
then OK







Now whateva operating system u have boot ur computer into SAFE MODE(by repetedly pressing F8 when ur computer starts up) and UPDATE ur antivirus software and then do a full system scan and it shold remove it . IF not connect to the internet and go here:

399967 2005-10-28 02:11:00 A few things I see that wrong with the above message is:

1. Windows 98 does NOT have system restore ;)
2. you / the message does not say how you get this virus or in other words how to prevent getting this virus

I think this is another fake message.

399969 2005-10-28 06:42:00 How the heck do you get a virus when using messenger?
Even when messenger first started being used as a means of spreading viruses, I was like huh?
Do people still accept stuff when they don't know what it is, or from people they hardly chat to who all of a sudden do the Hey, look at this? I have 2 words that will prevent most viruses ... common sense

W32/Chode-F is a worm for the Windows platform.
W32/Chode-F sends a message to all MSN Messenger contacts with a link to a site that contains a copy of the worm.

The message will be one of the following:
LMAO, this is freaking me out!!
looooooool....check this out !!!
Automessage : download the new MSN update here!
rofl, this ownz!!
Hej, you already updated your MSN?
Get the new MSN Messenger here :
Click here if you want more MSN emotions:
w0000t, you have to check this out!
lmao, this roxXxX!!
wow wow wow.....you have to check this out!!!

W32/Chode-F terminates a number of processes including those related to various AV and security applications.

W32/Chode-F includes functionality to silently download, install and run new software including an update of itself, initiate a proxy server on the infected computer
