Orkut is Banned You Fool

Did you ever see this message? Probably in a popup box
Orkut is banned you fool, The administrators didnt write the program guess who did? MUHAHAHA
It may have looked something like this:
Don’t take it personally, it’s nothing to do with Orkut and it’s nothing to do with anyone banning you from using Orkut. No, you got a worm. More specifically, you picked up a parasitic program (w32.USB) most likely from a USB drive inserted into your PC. It may throw up error messages with different text, including: “I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE…” and “USE INTERNET EXPLORER U DOPE”.
thoughts.com has the quick fix, but to have caught this worm you mustn’t have had any antivirus or security software running because most of the big name AV programs have trapped this worm for months now. Check out AVG free, Avira Antivir, and Threatfire for basic protection. Zonealarm security suite or firewall and make sure your router is locked down and acting as a decent hardware firewall.

Ouch. It never even occurred to me that my kids’ USB drives they bring to school and back could deliver such an extra, ahem, bonus. Sheesh.
Thanks for the info,
Barbara

From the very earliest floppy discs swapped at school there was a risk of disease transmission, USB sticks are just the latest incarnation.

Sunny, if you want more Orkut fans, you’re gonna have to be a whole lot more active, putting out great info and links, posting, commenting etc

I never get that from my usb, I don’t like AVG and more likely on AVIRA, I guess AVG wasn’t efficient enough to stop virus.

Jarnail…I thought I’d provided the answer in my post! It’s a worm. You need to follow my instructions to eradicate it from your system.
