W32.hllp.handy Virus

[sArA]

I know I am a newbie, but even I know to virus check and delete files!

It seams that too many people are either sloppy or dont know the basics. I have had sooooooo many viruses like W32Pinfi and W32HLLP.Handy.

The handy virus it seems is specific to Kazaa and is pretty rife.

If I can protect myself and download updates, remove all copies of the program and so on, surely so can others..


Just a moan but an important point I think.

Strange how people have problems with viruses.

I've never had W32HLLP.Handy, nor have I downloaded anything with it.

:ninja:

The problem is not everyone is going to do it, so viruses are always out there.

I have downloaded several files with The W32.hllp.handy virus, but it is always picked up and deleted by my Nortons Anti virus's auto protect while its still in .dat form. It's out there, but I don't have to worry about it B)

This virus is pretty hard to stop.
It goes around to and infect other files in your share folder.
I got infected with had virus a long time ago. I had to restart my whole computer.
Now I got Norton AntiVirus 2003 Pro which delete it automatically so it doesn't spread
into my computer but I don't know what the virus does. It didn't effect my computer at all. :ph34r:

People should also remember to keep their AV programs updated. I am willing to bet many people get hosed because, even though they do regular scans, they don't update their lists on a regular basis or at all.
