6587345gvsdf7679njbvyt/WIN-BUGSFIX.exe MS_DOS name: UNCLEG~1.VBS I got hit yesterday The following is a cut & paste from another site that I visit. I had to uninstall McAfee 1st. I ran Trend Micro's PC-cillin (30 day free trial period) & it would not correct the problem. Then the damn thing stated that the trial period was over & uninstalled itself. My xxxx is totally reconfigured... Outlook Express keeps asking for my password & takes forever to open... my homepage keeps changing back to some "skynet" bullxxxx... none of my jpegs in my briefcase & desktop can be opened... I'm getting error messages out the yin/yang & this thing is sending itself to everyone in my address book. If I could get my hands on the xxxxsucker who gave me this crap... I'd reconfigure their xxx! I deleted my jpegs & began the arduous task of manually finding corrupted files to quarantine & remove. This virus came to me from a trusted friend who also has McAfee & runs updates as well. Trend Micro found & confirmed the virus. The kicker is that when I ran their program to isolate the *payload*, I found that the bug had attached itself & interwove its package into just about everything... Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, Real Time, Quick Time, Adobe Acrobat & others too numerous to mention! I ran the program for over 10 hours only to find that for every file that it isolated... it created TWO new infected Files FROM THE VIRUS SCAN itself! Good Grief! Trying to remove it was bringing my pc to a crawl. At this point, I can only hope that by wiping my entire system & starting from scratch... the problem will finally be resolved. Heads up... this one is really nasty!
