    hi everyone,
    we've been hit with that stupid agobot virus. i have to download the
    screwago.exe file to help get rid of it, but the file name i have on the screen is

    screwago.ex_

    then in brackets it says to rename it with a .exe extension. ?!
    this is fine to rename it, but then i cannot open it. i know i'm doing this wrong
    can anyone help ?? please ?

    thanks
    michael.

    What the mean is just right click on it with Windows Explorer and then select rename.
    Change the name to screwago.exe
    Now you double click on it to run it. It is a self extracting executable file that has three files inside it:
    agoblows.bat
    pv.exe
    screwago.au3

    no actually that did not work
    when i double click it wants to know if i want to use the web service to find the appropriate program
    or do i want to select the program from a list ?

    i have no idea what to do.

    thanks !

    You did not rename it yet. You have to change the name from screwago.ex_ to screwago.exe

    Then double click on it.
