did you download spy sweeper? you realise that costs $40 to use. it does the scan for free, but actually fixing problems is something they'll charge you for.

I have spybot, it finds the stuff, and "fixes" it, but after I restart, it just comes back.

well, if you used a virus remover/registry cleaner, you probably got rid of it. I'm stuck with reformatting.

my brother suggested moving all the stuff I want to keep onto my secondary hard drive... that's pretty much all of my iTunes folder, and a couple save files from games. 34 minutes left on that transfer^_^'

I don't really understand the purpose of this virus, it seems like all it does is spread itself via MSN.

Good news!!!!

I got the website banned :D

I looked up the website (whois) and sent an e-mail to the company who registered the domain (NameCheap.com), explaining what the website was being used for (also linked them to the mess.be news post) and they disabled imsector.com. It appears the imtract.com has also been disabled, which I wasn't aware of until reading this thread.

Michael K.
