    We're getting hit with a URL inside the message asking to check out pictures of your before posting....Pretty simple don't open it...but then we have users...\
    So far it has added a service: Print Spooler Service.
    It is a typical enters your pc looks at your I/M buddy list and propagtes itself to everyon on the list.....
    We could block URL's (that is my suggestion to Mgmt)....Anybody ewlse getting hit with this..
    Oh by the way...each time the virus a file name it is different...so going from desktop to desktop becomes a chore....

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    I'm unsure of what you are looking for from us. Do you need to have malware removed from your PC? Or are you just looking to see if anyone else has the same problem. No one can answer you message in this forum except us malware fighters and none of us will have this problem. This the only answer you will get is no.

    If you actually have been hit with active malware and want to remove it then you need to follow the below procedure.


    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, renaming, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.
    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy. - only for Windows XP, 2K, & NT users
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

    It was not any bother! That is why we are here. I just was not sure exactly what you are looking for. As stated, if you want to remove malware problems, the directions I gave are designed for that purpose. We cannot help you if you do not follow those directions.
