Thanks!|||This Yahoo messenger virus attack is one of the most powerful Trojan/virus.. If your computer is infected with this virus; It will sends the nsl-school.org url to all of your friend list in yahoo messenger using your ID . So with in few hours many of your friends will get infected with it.





To solve this problem, Just go through the below steps carefully.





What are those links ?:


Nsl-school.org or other (Do not open this url in your browser).





======================================…





If you are infected with it what is going to happen ?


1: It sets your default IE page to nsl-school.org, you can’t even change it back to other page. If you open IE from your comp some malicious code will automatically executed into your computer.





2: It will disables the Task manager / reg edit. So you can’t kill the Trojan process anymore.





3: Files that are gonaa installed by this virus are svhost.exe , svhost32.exe , internat.exe.





You can find these files in windows/ %26amp; temp/ directories.





4: It will sends the secured %26amp; protected information to attacker





How to remove this manually from your computer ?

2: To enable Regedit





Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)

Report Abuse


|||You can sign up for a "Security Key" in your Yahoo Account settings for access to secured Yahoo sites.





Yahoo mail itself doesn't have "security settings," but in has Spam Protection settings and filters you can set up.





Click the OPTIONS button on the top left of your mail page, and select MAIL OPTIONS from the two choices in the drop down list. Read the notification that pops up, and click OK. The "Mail Options" page will open.





Click SPAM PROTECTION. Under Spam Filter, if it says "Spamguard is turned off," you can turn it on by clicking the "Turn Spamguard on" link to the right. With Spamguard turned on, all spam and junk mail will go to your Spam Folder, instead of your inbox. I check "Save these messages in the Bulk Folder for (1 week) so I can check to see if something ended up in there from someone that I know. The Bulk Mail folder is called the Spam folder in the beta version.





Spammers tend to send one or two letters at the most using the same name, then they change it. It seldom does any good to add a spammers e-mail address to your blocked list. Save your blocked list space for those spammers who you know you get multiple mailings from.





You can set up other items here, or in "General Preferences" to fit your own personal needs.|||I noticed that this is happening to me too. I am receiving notes from other people's accounts. It is getting on my nerves.
