MSN virus threats..

If you really think u got the virus of msn .. and after many friends of your been saying you got the virus.. no harm doing the following.. i hope it will help you..

There is a virus being spread by MSN Messenger. You are asked to accept a picture from the person who you are talking to. If you do then a file called image02.zip will be transferred to your computer and begin the process of asking others that you chat to to accept pictures as well.

The best way to avoid the file is to keep clicking Decline when asked (if the other person is affected then you will see several messages asking to accept the file)

If you do accept the file then you need to go into msconfig and remove the file from starting when Windows does. Do as follows:


1. Click on the Start button and click on Run
2. Then type in msconfig and click OK
3. You should see a screen that has System Configuration Utility in the blue bar
at the top
4. Click on the Tab that says Startup
5. Locate an entry that is related like MsnMsgr , msnmsgr, msmsgs and nvbsvc
6. Uncheck all of the above entry, especially nvbsvc..
7. Click the Apply button in the bottom right hand side of the screen
8. Then when prompted restart your computer and when Windows loads up again
locate the file on your computer (it should be in the C:/My Documents/Messenger Received Files directory) and then you should be able to delete it. (Likely to be the fle your friend told u the file you be sending them.. example image02.zip

Hope all these will help you much.. CHEERS!!!
