Anyone Else had this Virus?

Post by amo »

Hi all,
Just had another infection (I thought my system was well protected) :-({|=
W32/Trojan.XXB file
I backed up some of my stuff luckily about 2 weeks ago although have lost Shorts and Saab profile drawings and my web documents.
Airliner liveries will stay the same for some time to come. :crying:
It has caused my pc to boot up into windows safe mode every switch on.
The worrying thing was it all happened as I tried out the "booster " method for FSX using the airliner.net method and Microsofts Net Framework 3 :shock:
Anyone Else had this or similar.
Regards
amo

Must come from one of those xxx-sites you don't visit.... :redface:

Nope I haven't, and don't fall for that .NET FW 3.0 assumption.

If you need FW 3.0 for some of your applications, fine If you don't leave the space on your HDD for other things.

Stick to the defragmentation part and/or registry cleaning. and be aware of from where you download the registry cleaner program....

I hope you have seen my comments on this airliners.net advice..?

I've been reading about it on web and my scanning report.
Seems togo into your C:windows\system32\ folder and creates a winmsfws.exe file and affects yor windows system restore folder.
Check it out before its too late...........
