| The other night, while I was chatting on MSN Messenger, I had a conversation
| window pop up from a friend. The conversation states something along the
| lines of:
|
| Wow, is this really you?
|
| There was a link and, in my stupidity, I clicked on the link. A program
| loaded to my computer and now, I am unable to log into MSN Messenger, or
| retrieve my Hotmail account via the Hotmail website. It also appears that
| this program shut off my virus scanner (I have Norton), and will not allow
| me to conduct a system scan. I tried to download AVG from their website (it
| was recommended by a guy from work), and I cannot get onto the website. All
| I receive when I do try is something about the page being unavailable.
|
| A friend told me to check the processes my computer is running and, to look
| for SVCHOST.EXE, which I have 5 occurences of this particular file running
| on my computer. I tried to shut down one of these processes, and my
| computer gave me 55 seconds to save all unsaved work and proceeded to shut
| my computer down.
|
| Any suggestions on how I can get this virus off my computer?

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
It is a self-extracting ZIP file that contains the Kixtart Script Interpreter {
http://kixtart.org Kixtart is CareWare } 4 batch files, 6 Kixtart scripts, one Link
(.LNK) file, a PDF instruction file and two utilities; UNZIP.EXE and WGET.EXE. It will
simplify the process of using; Sophos, Trend, Kaspersky and McAfee Anti Virus Command
Line Scanners to remove viruses, Trojans and various other malware.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file.
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
