• Modified autoexec.bat to display a message upon system start: "Surabaya is my birthday"….."Don't kill me, I'm just send message from your computer"…and then some blah - blah in some Thai language I guess.
• Your folder has file size 40K
• All your hard disk partitions become autorun…if you right click on any partition or any drive letter it'll give the "autorun" option instead "open".
• All your existing original folders become hidden and are replaced by another dummy folder with same file name but with size of 40KB. If you right click on any file, the menu which opens will show "test", "configure"….etc options but no "open" option.

Type again in command box- del autorun.inf -> press Enter
Type again in command box- del thumb*.* -> press Enter
Repeat the same with your other hard drive partitions as well…say if you have 3 drive partitions viz. "C", "D" & "E"…for this:

Step 3:
Go to Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System restore
This'll open a box where you'll get the option - "Restore my system to an earlier time"... Select any old date on which you think your system was working fine…push on next..next…till the system restore starts…
System restore takes a few minutes to complete depending on your computer speed….so be patient….after system restore completes….Your computer will restart…..the problem should have been solved.
Step 4:
Press Start -> Run -> regedit ->press Enter
Press Ctrl + F
In the find window type Surabaya if at all you find any entries in the registry with this name…"Surabaya"…delete them
Step 5:
This virus makes your system's show hidden file option in folder menu to get disabled. To make your computer to show Hidden files, and to get your computer again back into normalcy…

Current Version -> Explorer -> Advanced -> Folder -> Hidden -> Show All
On the right side window, locate this: CheckedValue = "0"
Modify this value to 1. (right click on the Checked value under Name column -> Modify)
Note:
This virus usually reaches to your computer through any USB drive (pen drive or hard disc). Whenever you plug your USB drive into any other computer, infected with this virus, the virus will infect this drive and will infect the next computer, in which the drive is plugged in next time. So its always advisable not to open the pen drive directly. Instead always right click on the drive and select open option. If at all you see the first option as "autorun", after you right click on the USB drive, this means that the drive is infected.

Why would a computer omit four buzzes then shut down prematurely?
When you turn your computer on, it runs a self-diaganostic to make sure everything is working properly. This is called the Power On Self Test, also known as POST. When POST detects an error, it emits a series of beeps. These are called beep codes. Your 4 beeps is a beep code because something is wrong with your computer. If you still have your motherboard manual, look under beep codes and look for 4 beeps, and it will tell you what is wrong. If you don't have your manual anymore, you have to search on google for beep codes for your specific motherboard. Every computer has a different set of beep codes, so you have to find your specific ones to find out what is wrong. -Jesse
