Re: Yahoo Messenger Virus Attack

You can't change the home page through INternet option.. you have to change it through Regedit. Fallow this step..

4: Now we need to change the default page of IE though regedit.

Start>Run>Regedit

From the below locations in Regedit chage your default home page to google.com or other.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Just replace the attacker site with google.com or set it to blank page.

Re: Yahoo Messenger Virus Attack

ooooops do not kill svchost.exe. You have to kill svhost32.exe .

Got my point ? svchost.exe is a system file.. if you kill tht process it will shutdown the PC in 1 minute. To avoid shutdown go to RUN & type Shutdown -A .

Re: Yahoo Messenger Virus Attack

We were able to enable regestry n the task manager. There is a process called SVCHOST.EXE runing. Is this to be deleted too?? And when we r trying to delete this process (there are 3 such process running) the system starts shutting down automatically in 1 minute.
We changed the homepage but when the system restarts (The page gets changed to google by modifying the registry, but the field is disabled in the IE properties) the nfl-homepage is agan set as default.
Please help!!! Its Exam time here....
The Thanx is pending till the problem is finally resolved....pls pls pls HELP!!!!!

Re: Yahoo Messenger Virus Attack

1 : Do not kill SVCHOST.EXE process. U need to kill only svhost32.exe process.

2:To enable IE use current- use default -use blank options..

Strat>Run>Regedit

Go to this pleace :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel] -

Right Click on the Homepage & selecet modify. Replace the 1 with 0.

Thats all. let me know if you need any more help.

Go through the above steps.. it will be fine.
