Exclamation The Virus has another name!!!

I like many of you probably have run into a rather nasty virus that will cause your LW to open back up every few seconds...and no matter what you do it still opens back up.

Well I first tried the wonderful adviced from the Sticky, but I couldn't seem to understan why I wasn't locating the file "winupdates.exe" and that's because my computer was infected by a different variant of the virus...

The one that I was infected with was "taskmgr.exe"

and just like the other one, it won't show up with your anti-virus or firewall scanners because it has a microsoft-like name....

I did however, follow the exact same steps in this thread

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39421

and everything was deleted and working fine now....

just thought i'd share this info, incase anybody else seems to contract the virus I did....


tschuess!
