WORM in Yahoo Messenger.
Salam, huhu…look at the title, what do you think?is it true?Yup!
Actually, about 4 or 5 days ago, when i login to my YM, i got several of my YM friends list which is their status look suspicous [this is what i think la...], why? Because their status have been set like this,
E may, vao day coi co con nho nay ngon lam
http://nhattruongquang.0catch.com
“Vao day nghe bai nay di ban
http://nhattruongquang.0catch.com”
“Vao day

“Biet tin gi chua,

“Trang Web nay coi cung

“Toi di lang thang

What the heck with all this status message?More,their status also set as Available a.k.a ONLINE. But actually they are not online. hehe…this virus/worm have use their YM account to spread out about the the website stated above [fortunately, i've checked the website and it already suspended.huh..]..this virus/worm will use your friend list and contact list in your YM account to send the message like above without you know bout it. Although the website is already suspended but this virus/worm is still send all that messages to your friend list! This virus/worm will continously send message to all your YM friend list if you don’t take any action.hehe.. [or you don't care??]
Here are technical details about this virus/worm :

So as protection, keep your antivirus up to date. Since some of my YM friend list already infected with this virus/worm..its look like this virus still be able to spread although the website is already suspended. So keep your antivirus up to date.
For the solution i think maybe you can scan your computer and make sure your antivirus is up to date.

After searching for the troubleshoot, i don’t find any manual solution for this virus infection. Most of the forum that discussed about this virus, mostly recommend to update your antivirus software. So for a mean time,keep your antivirus up to date and your computer will be protected.Please tell me any system failure,or others symptoms that you get due to this virus. Thanks
