    ok, I was on these myg0t irc channel and decided to download this file because I wanted to try a hack, but it turns out to be a virus. I have heard of this changing resolution etc. but all it has done thats visible is take away my shortcuts, take away my desktop background. When I boot my computer it says it cant find the boot.ini file but then loads from C:/WINNT

    I have Aluria anti-spyware stormer and did a scan, it found two infected files and I deleted them immediately. However, it still says it cant find the boot.ini file when it boots up and Im sure the scan didnt pick up everything.

    My operating system is Windows 2000, not xp.

    When I ran the exe for this it said from my user in irc something like "sp0rkeh owns y0u". God, whoever makes these is pure evil. Can anyone tell my how I can get rid of this?

    See if this link helps you to get started on a repair: http://members.lycos.co.uk/dns2php/

    Some info may not pertain to you since you do not have Win XP (like a prefetch folder).

    After that you should work thru our procedures to make sure there are no other problems.

    To help us to best help you, please follow the steps below closely and in the order given and do not skip anything. If you have any difficulty, please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything along with details about any problems you may have encountered in completing the steps.

    - 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:

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.
