"I Dont hate Mozilla but use IE or Else" virus…

...Few days back when i tried to open mozilla firefox I got a message "I Dont hate mozilla but use IE or Else"… this was my first encounter with a virus… My antiVirus couldn't detect it…

I went through google…. and finaly found a solution for this virus. Which had blocked my mozilla firefox but IE was accessible. Below are the steps to kill the virus is…

1. Go to Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
2. in that click on Process Tab
3. Delete only the svchost.exe of your user name
4. type c:\heap41a in you address bar of your explorer and you can trace this folder
5. Now give a smile… you have done it….


I heard these days virus are spreading through USBs. So one precaution measure would be to disable the auto run feature in the system. How to do this ? follow the simple steps:

1. Click Start -> Run.
2. Type RegEdit in the Open text box, then press ENTER.
3. In the Registry Editor, locate and click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

1. Modify the value of the Autorun to 0 (zero) so that CD-ROMs and Audio CDs do not run and start automatically when inserted.
2. Next navigate to the following registry subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

1. Modify the value of the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry to 0xb5 value to turn off the AutoRun feature for CD-ROMs by right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun and then click Modify to type B5 in the Value data box. Select Hexadecimal, and then

click OK.
2. Quit Registry Editor.
3. Restart your computer.
