Can a computer virus lie dormant?
An infection can occasionally lie dormant in the system information files used for system restore. Following removal of an infection, system restore should be disabled, thereby removing all of the files, and a new system restore point added manually.
A salami attack is a programmed attack which is implemented in small (meant to be unnoticeable) increments. Because it is occurring in small increments it is easily concealed.
Rounding down interest calculations and placing the difference in your account is an example of a salami attack.

Well we can only help you if you tell us why symptoms you have with this computer bug called fly.
Yes actually you can. Today is March 02, 2016. Just 2 days ago I open my MSN home page, and saw one of their articles I had not seen earlier that day. It was an article on Ted Cruz, it had a really funny picture of him, and said something about some big scandal or something silly. So I went ahead and clicked it to see what it was about, it seemed kind of odd to me. As soon as I clicked it, I got a bunch of full screen pop ups and had to open task manager just to shut them all down. So I guess I will have to run virus scans now. Funny thing is, after all that I went back to my MSN home page to try and find that same article and it was gone. MSN is well known to have a strong left leaning bias, and also known to block people through FB etc if they make anti-left comments. So it doesn't surprise me this "safe" MSN site is no longer safe. UPDATE It turns out after a full scan of windows defender I had a browser hijacking virus, and I didn't have it before I clicked that funny ad on MSN. Be careful what you click on when viewing MSN...
How do websites get infected with a virus?
There are many sources that can implement a virus onto the Internet, but one thing is definite, someone or something must've uploaded the virus onto a public area of the Internet and the virus is intelligent enough to install itself to your computer (whether it was intentional or not). Most of the time, the virus has the ability to duplicate itself onto several webpages. Once it gets onto a computer, it can attempt to spread itself throughout the local network and/or through removable data storage (eg. flash drives).

What does a Trojan horse attack?
A Trojan Horse program is designed to masquerade as a legit program in order to trick a user into downloading and running it. Most of the time, the Trojan Horse will provide the desired program, such as a game or music file, so as to avoid suspicion, but it runs malicious processes in the background. A Trojan Horse can do a number of things. Some come with a built-in keylogger so it can record keystrokes that allows a hacker to steal usernames and passwords. Others usually open a backdoor on the computer so it can download more malware off of the Internet.
Could reformatting delete a virus?
Yes, the virus could be destroyed, or at least "lost." The worst that will happen is that the virus will be marked as trash, but not deleted. In theory, another bit of malicious code could recover it, and reinfect you, but this is very unlikely. You could "shred" and format your drive to be sure it is destroyed, using something like Darik's Boot and Nuke (found at www.dban.org), but this is usually not needed.
What computer program is used to prevent computer viruses from infecting a computer?
Many programs today have security features built-in which are designed to stop viruses from infecting your computer. The main program that does this though is called an anti-virus program. This type of program removes viruses from your computer and sometimes attempts to stop viruses from being installed or even downloaded. There are many free programs of this type, such as AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials.

Is the Epstein-Barr virus active?
Yes. Children infected with it will typically show no symptoms, but if the infection occurs in early adulthood about one-third to one-half of patients will develop mononucleosis.
Following initial presentation, it continues to exist as a lifelong latent infection, but its ability for transformation is staggering; and recent research seems to implicate it in various pathogeneses in elderly hosts. Associated lymphomas have been known for 20 years or so. It has further consequences for the immune compromised and transplant recipients.

How can you delete nebuler virus?
Dear friends:
In my case I had a problem with this file: "winsaj32.dll""nebuler.dll""wvUmmjkh.dll" so I had to do these things to delete it at all. IT worked for me.
1- Download the software "Unlocker" in this link:
http://www.download.com/Unlocker/300...dlPid=10838644
2- Restart the computer in Safe Mode (when restart press F8).
3- Once the computer is ready again I went to the directory:
C:\windows\system32\wvUmmjkh.dll and "put the trash can very close" from the file to be deleted, I did it like this because the infected file was linked with the winlogon.exe and the explorer.exe and I had no option as fast as this.
4- Use the "Unlocker" software with the infected file and unlock all the files linked to the virus or spyware. In this moment you have to be very fast and throw the file into the trash basket, if you don't make it fast, the computer is going to restart (in my case, because I was killing to important processes: winlogon.exe and explorer.exe) and you'll miss the chance to make it in one simple try, I think that you have 2 or 3 seconds to do this action.
5- Once you finished deleting the file I had to download another program called "HijackThis":
http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-...dlPid=10781312
and began to make a "Do a system scan only" of the disk. When it finished you can see a list of all processes running in your machine, in my case the file "wvUmmjkh.dll" was with an indication of "missing file" so the only thing that I had to do to end all this was to delete the registry who belonged to it, very simply, just check the box and press "fix checked" and the registry will be inmediatly erased.
Just in case, with "HijackThis" you have an option of "Delete on Reboot", in some cases it works and sometimes not.
My best regards, Prabhu
