SPIM on Yahoo! Messenger

December 4, 2007

SPIM on Yahoo! Messenger named FunnyUSTScandal.avi.exe and xmss.exe

SPIM _ Spam on Instant Messaging.

If the computer is infected with this virus then whenever user logs in to their respective Yahoo! Messenger then it will ask that person to download and if the user without knowledge downloads it, thinking that their friend is sending some file.

This virus gets installed in the shell of the explorer.

It means whenever computer is started even before logging inside this virus gets started. And, what’s worse it uses lot of processes and hides the task manager, registry, Process Explorer, Task Killer; the moment you open them.

Finally, I removed this virus by searching in the blog; I got one removal tool and ran that. The virus got removed.

Hey pals,
Here is one more virus which will block orkut.com. Once it displays the error message just dont close it or click on OK or Cancel. In the Task Bar, right click and open the task manager wherein you can see the H or that particular message box displayed in the Applications tab. click on that and then go to processes> End that process.

type the C:/>heap41a
It will open up the files it contains along with the mp3 file (audio file, which displayed Muahhaa)…
Delete all these things and remnants in the Windows registry. You are done with the removing of this virus.

Regards,
Krishna.
