Spyware Removal: MSN Messenger Worm for FOOLS!! How to remove virus (ZIP Image)!
Posted on 8/22/2008
The MSN Messenger Worm (Virus) that is spreading over everywhere, sending itself to all online contacts saved in your Hotmail Messenger, is surprisingly fooling thousands of MSN users every day.
The thing is, it is so damn clear and obvious:
How could an Image be EVER saved in some executable (.EXE) batch file?!!
This worm tries to fool users by sending some Tempting Messages as mentioned below, with some attached compressed file (.ZIP) all sent at the same second (another reason why it’s so obvious)! And when you unzip this file looking for the image mentioned in the message you find some executable file (.exe) waiting for you to execute!
If u get fooled and run this file, then this worm will automatically run adding some keys to your windows registry and some files to your windows directory.
This worm doesn’t harm your computer, it just keeps bugging you (like a spyware or adware) and annoying your online contacts telling everyone that you got fooled while trying to fool them also.

How to remove worm?
Think before you run any executable file, especially if it's intended as an image LOL
Now and since then am declining all such files received on my msn from people who got fooled by this worm! (almost once a day)!

My story with this worm?
The first time i received it i thought it could be something real, so i downloaded the attached ZIP file, unzipped it, one click on the file and noticed its a .EXE file so i never double clicked it! then instantly shift deleted it!Now and since then am declining all such files received on my msn from people who got fooled by this worm! (almost once a day)!

Thanks man, I was inflicted with terrible virus after a friend was using my computer. I did a scan at Spyware Fix but nothing came up. This did the trick however.
i see you're going techie ... cool man!
ya the octopus is spreading another branch lol
I also can't believe how can people be such easy fooled. I can imagine results if messages were like:
- Find who is blocking you with this tool... etc...
Thanks for the tip for fixing this, anyway, i am sure many will use it :)
Nice post.Really it supports the tips about the consciousness of spyware.
Thanks, great site.. your is one of very few blogs worth taking the time to read..
Thanks again, Love lisa
Thanks for the removal instructions, my kid clicked on the executable and I didn't think I'd ever be rid of this garbage, it's taken a great weight off my mind.
It's kind of sad that MSN has yet another virus, I swear there is about 4 MSN virus's every year now for the past 5 years. Hopefully Microsoft can do something to try to stop this.

My first Messenger virus...stupid thing! Yes, I was one who fell for the picture thing...since it was from a friend I thought she had a lot of pictures that she zipped up in a large file.
Thanks for the help!
I tried following the instructions abover, however when i got to the 'run' stage i could not find; "nVidia Display Driver" = "nvsvc64.exe" does anyone know where alternative routes/methods to find the file?
Delete Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run "nVidia Display Driver" = "nvsvc64.exe"
I'm confused at the "nVidia Display Driver" = "nvsvc64.exe"
dk where to find it @_@
wait, i'm sorry but how do you do it like i don't know where to find the file and delete it!
yOUR BEING JUST A BIT TO GEEKY LOL !!!!!!
