I Don’t Hate Firefox But Use IE or Else

Viruses trojans worms Have you ever seen the following message when you open the Mozilla or Firefox browser?

I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE

Several Sig Fig readers have contacted me recently because they have seen this message and other similar popup boxes.

Well, if you see that or a similar message, don’t panic. Calmly and steadily, save any open files, shut down open applications, and reboot your PC into safe mode. From there run your (hopefully up to date virus checker). You will most likely then discover that you have been infected with “w32.usbworm”. Other symptoms include messages telling you that Orkut and Youtube are inaccessible. You might see, for example, a message box that says:

orkut is banned you fool!!!

Those messages are all symptoms of a worm burrowing into your system.

Here’s a nice cartoony video showing the damage worms, viruses, and trojans might do to you and your data.

Try this alt approach - from here

Open Task Manager by holding Ctrl + Alt + Del and click on the process tab.

Ignore the warning messages and stop the SVC.Host for the system’s user name.

Navigate to C:/Heap41a and delete the contents of the folder.

To prevent re-infection, avoid transferring data from internet centers using flash drives.
