mornin' just got in booted up and got this shit - crap little worm virus heres how to kill it 1) Close the e-mail programme 2) Download and install the Microsoft "patch" which prevents the virus from exploiting the weakness in ACtiveX scripting. The download is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/security/bulletin/ms99-032.asp 3) Delete the KAK.HTA and KAK.HTM files from your PC. The HTA file should be expressed as a series of numbers and characters when you search for it (e.g. 98278AE0.HTA) 4) Open e-mail client and turn off the Preview Pane option. 5) Again in the e-mail programme, delete the default e-mail signature in Tools, Options. 6) Delete any potential messages that might cause reinfection. Finally, you could also remove the windows scripting host. To do this open Control Panel and select Add Remove Programs. Click on Windows Setup and double click on Accessories. Scroll down to WIndows Script Host and uncheck it. then choose OK. Then reboot the system. bastards benjib www.tapirindustries.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
