Well, I ran a virus check today, and it turns out I have a virus in a program called "MSCCN32.EXE". The virus cannot be removed, neither can the program be moved to a folder where it will be kept away from things. What can I do now?! I'd had a virus before, and it ended up having me to format my HD. Fortunatly, this virus is only on one file. I don't have the Windows CD because umm....*cough*pirated*cough*. Its WinME if you need to know. If you have suggestions, please tell. :)

Sorry for the double post, but it was nessercery to bump this up.

The virus is I-Worm/Sobig.B I foundout that it attaches itself to the windows registery. It uses the following registery auto run keys:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
System Tray = %WindowsDir%\msccn32.exe

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
System Tray = %WindowsDir%\msccn32.exe

I think what I should do is remove the registery keys, and then delete the fil. I've managed to find the virus's config file, and it hasn't been able to find any email address on my computer. I've backed up my registery, so that should be alright. If you know how to find those registery keys, please tell. :) Thanks a lot.

1. Take sledgehammer
2. Find where in your CPU winME hides
3. Smash it
4. Smash yourself for downloading winME

Didn't download it :P
Hopefully I deleted the registery settings properly. I deleted the program + config file, and backed up the registery. Restarting now. If you don't here from me, the f***ing virus wrecked my comp. ;(

Bye-bye SCM. I mean, see you soon, I mean... *me ignores MR.ShortCutMan

My computer is dying too... it's been a few years since my last reformatting, so I'm probably going to be doing that in the next month or so.
