WORM VIRUS AFFECT UR COMPUTER
Sneaky wrote:i have a problem lately...wonder if it's virus infection..
whenever i startup my pc, the C drive would open by itself displaying all the files and folders that are inside it....
how to get rid of this huh?
Try this:
Goto Start > Run > Type this > sysedit
Sysedit will open up a few files, look for the file win.ini
See if this sentence is present in the 1st few lines >
" Load c:\ " or " Run c:\ "
If the above is present, delete the sentence off.
If the above not present, than goto Start > Run > Type this > regedit
Regedit will open.
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Goto SOFTWARE
Goto Microsoft
Goto Windows
Goto Current version
Goto Run
Look at the right side, see if the value " C:\ " is present. If it is then highlight it, right click and select delete.
Hope the above will solve your problem.

If u guys recieve a mail titled call My details PLS DO NOT open cos its a deadly worm. Its called W32.welchia.worm or W32.Repad.Worm. W32.Repad.Worm is a worm that attempts to spread through the KaZaA file-sharing network. The existence of the file st01b.reb or SysTray32.dat is an indication of a possible infection. The first time the worm is executed it will shut down the computer.
I kena it last nite and it turns out to be really serious..

Yup, its very important to have those anti virus programs installed, and apart from this u will need a firewall to prevent penetration from hackers. search under firewall at www.download.com

If you have anti-virus software installed, go for LiveUpdate.
If you don't, better go for online scan, or best get one installed.
I have 2 sites recommended:
1. For removal tool >>http://securityresponse.symantec.com/av ... .list.html
2. For online scan >>http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
