Finally, after some digging I found that bloody tool. Now translated properly already. It was actually released quite a while ago... I asked for help for translating... but nobody replies... Mad Mad Mad Laughing

Do not click on the link. It brings you directly to their forums. Right click on the link and select Save Link As (Firefox and other browsers users) or Save Target As (IE and IE-based browsers users)

Save it, extract the files and use it.

Best to use it in Safe Mode.

One side effect, it sets the homepage to the removal tool's homepage (www.forospyware.com). Just reset your homepage after it's done.

Edit: Added usage instructions.

Here's how to use it:

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Current version is 1.2.0. If anybody by chance download from ulu servers, please remove your copy and download the latest version or you may still find that the MSN virus is still there.

are machines infected when other contacts suddenly "sends" something and the user go accept?

like those pictures? is that the virus in tis topic?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

1. If your friend sends you, you don't accept - not infected.

2. If your friend sends you, you accept but never open the file - may or may not be infected.

3. If your friend sends you, you accept and open the file - chances are you are infected.

The virus is not posted in this topic. However, a few others including me have started topics about MSN virus before.

Are we talking about removing W32.Mimbot.A virus discovered 9 August 2007 by Symantec? Or any MSN virus?

Only those that are sending zipped files. There's another kind of MSN virus spreading, known as Chod, but it won't be provided here. They require special care in handling as it involves some system files.

jus take note.
a temp relief to stop ur frens frm getting infected by u is to search for that file in ur com and delete them all.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Can download but not real? Neutral

ndmmxiaomayi SG

If your friend keeps asking you why you keep sending them zip files... then you know liao.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Looks like this one will infect immediately on accepting the file.
