[QUOTE="Cashmere, post: 4081378, member: 57746"] Hey all, I didn't figure out how to fix it, I didn't even click on the link... thank you spider sense >_< this is a post from our old friend, said I could post it here to help all our peoples too :D [I] Ok folks! I think I have a way to fix this little virus up! Pay attention and behold! Step 1: Uninstall Windows Live Messenger. Make sure that when you go to reinstall it, you have a later version than the one Microsoft just released. Here is the link I got mine from, though it was down last time I checked, but just in case: Messenger Live 8.0 Step 2: After you are done with that, open up your Control Panel and go to Add Remove Programs. Once there, scroll down to Windows Messenger Live, click the Change button then click Repair. Now, if you have Messenger Plus! Live, you should use the Repair function on it instead, it is under "Messenger Plus! Live" in the Add Remove Programs list. Just click it, and then click Repair Messenger. It will bring up a box, leave everything as is and click next... Let it repair. Step 3: After all that, now comes the tricky part. Since this virus embeds itself in Windows, it will start up when Windows does as well... So to fix this go to Start Menu then click "Run". When the window comes up type in "msconfig" without the quotations, then hit enter. It will bring up a box with several tabs.. Click on the "Startup" tab then look for an item that says, "live" and "live.messenger.com". Once you find this option, uncheck it . Now click the "Services" tab, and looks for the same name "live" or "live.messenger.com" There shouldn't be anything in there, but check just in case. If so, disable it. Now click apply, it will prompt you to restart your machine, do so. Now once this is all done, it SHOULD be ok, this is no guarantee, but hell.. it worked for me and a few others... It is better than spreading it, right? Hehe. Good luck! V -------------------- user posted image [/I] [/QUOTE]
