Anyone know a fix I can tell people?

The removal tool can be found here http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ven....removal.tool.html

For one of my friends this tool worked, for another it didn't but Spybot Search and Destroyer deleted it.

You got to be pretty stupid to actually click on it though.

Yes u would. I was ALMOST stupid to click it but 5 min before I got it from a contact I was reading mess.be and I thank it so very much lol.

Heh, common sense is still the best antivirus, thanks for the warning though.

Yer my friends got this worm. I told her the bropia remover tool before. I thought thats what it was.

But I told her the removal tool that monster.rat said. hope that works

FYI, tell your friend to get antivirus, "Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2005" is what I suggest.

Well you're right, but once that someone posted a similar thread like this one, there was someone that clicked and opened it..

Ah, that was exactly what I was looking for, thanks a bundle.

NOD32 Antivirus doesn't detect it...grah.

I clicked the link out of habit, downloaded it and poked it around for a bit with various scanners (no positives, which was a shame) and then deleted it. Obviously it was a virus, but I like doing these things

Just needed the removal tool to tell friends.

I never get viruses ^_^.

Edit: Just want to ask sonicsam what exactly is the point of being as fast as sound AND light, seeing as light is faster anyway

Non-well known anti-virus' probably don't get definitions early in the stages of the worm being created, try getting something like McAfee... a bit safer .
