Hidden malicious programs (most are not viruses) are called "Trojans" from the story of the Trojan Horse, from the war between Greece and the city of Troy, as written in Virgil's Aeneidand referenced in Homer's The Odyssey. The trojan horse was a threat masquerading as a gift. Similarly, trojan programs seem innocuous, but are designed to damage your computer or use it for harmful purposes.

---

In the Trojan War, one side was the Greeks and the other was the people from Troy. They were fighting for this beautiful queen, Helen, wife of Menelaus. Eventually the Greeks saw that the Trojans were winning the war, so they devised a very clever plan: they would create a giant wooden horse (because the Trojans worshiped horses) and then leave it behind as they left, pretending to give up. The wooden horse would be a peace offering. The Trojans accepted it, took it into the city walls, and then they partied at night and got drunk. After the Trojans were sleeping, Greek soldiers hiding inside the hollow wooden horse got out and opened the city gates of Troy to let their much larger army inside. Because the Trojans were caught off guard and drunk, they had no choice but to surrender and the Greeks won the war.

Trojan Horse programs work in the same way. They disguise themselves as legitimate programs or files. When you accept to download them, they infect your computer and run malicious processes in the background without you knowing. They often really do have the program that you intended to download, but they also come with a virus or something else to corrupt your computer. Hence the name, Trojan Horse or Trojan.

Not yet i suppose BUT viruses can freeze a computer and do all kinds of damage

If one was to "remote login" to another PC and be able to run a system overlocking task to overclock the users CPU 200x

This would create heat and could possiblly make the CPU spontaniously combust.

This would then cause an electrical fire.

ANSER:

Yours Truly, Stupid Head

Almost certainly.

Finding a recycle folder in all drives is a symptom of infection by Recycler Virus. This virus copies itself to all active drives in your PC. Once it's inside, it will immediately attack and alter your Windows registry. That way, it could easily launch during boot up and continue to reappear in all drives. It will also try to contact other malicious sites the moment you go online so your system can slow down to a crawl.

Remove this virus right away before it does serious damage to your system. Run a scan on your computer in order to detect infection and get rid of this virus automatically.

Update antivirus software such as AVG, kaspersky, Nod32 to the latest version, do a thorough scan of the computer and USB storage devices. If the virus/worms come back again after removal, or the antivirus software could not detect the virus even, try to remove the virus manually (if you are experienced enough to understand registry editing).

1. Reboot your system and tap F8 to enter safe mode;
2. Close the RECYCLER.exe process in the task manager;
3. Delete the autorun.inf and other suspicious exe files in the recycler folder
4. Open registry editor and modify the NoDriveTypeAutoRun key with 03ffffff in following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE
5. Using the antivirus product to scan again.

NOTE: Manual removal of the infection is not recommended because it requires an expertise to edit registry. In case you modify a registry entry wrongly, that may cause damage to the system. Therefore, it is always better to remove virus with a specialized removal tool.

West Nile Virus - Topic Overview Source: Healthwiseproducts donated for transfusion in the United States are screened for the virus. Some evidence suggests that West Nile virus can be spread from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, at birth, or through breast milk. However, the CDC still recommends that women breast-feed, because the benefits of breast-feeding are known and the risk of spreading the virus to babies is unclear. 2 Anyone exposed to mosquitoes can become infected. People usually recover fully from West Nile virus infection, but permanent problems may develop, especially children and older people. They may have seizures, memory loss, personality changes, brain damage, paralysis, tremors, walking or balance problems, or symptomssimilar to Parkinson's disease . Some of these symptoms may last a long time. In a few cases, the infection can be fatal. Older people infected by West Nile virus have the greatest risk for developing encephalitis and other complications. People ages 50 to 59 are 10 times more likely to develop complications than people younger than age 20, and people 80 or older are 43 times more likely to develop complications. Of the people who develop complications, those older than age 70 have the greatest risk of death. 3 What are the symptoms? About 80% of people who are infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms. 1 When symptoms do appear, they develop 3 to 14 days after infection and include fever, tiredness, headache, and body aches, occasionally with skin rash and swollen lymph nodes ... read more...Back to topBack to All Results

What kind of virus is it?? The first thing you can do is download or purchase an anti-viral software. The top tow recommended anti virus programs are Mcafee and Norton. They can get pricey, If you find that money is an issue there are free, and consequently less secure types of protection, available from various sites on the web. One of the top recommended free programs is AVG anti-virus available from download.com . Most current virus scanners and removers, purchased or free, can scan your hard drive. If viruses are found then most scanners quarantine the virus, keeping it in a special place until you decide what to do with it. (Delete the file or repair it, which then the program attempts to delete the virus from within the file without deleting it. If the virus you happen to have is real disastrous, meaning it infects hundreds or thousands of files, keeps popping up after you've quarantined it x amount of times, or it keeps deleting key files, then your last resort is to reformat the entire hard drive including any second hard drives or partitions. In most cases reformatting gets rid of everything on the drive which can save the computer. Although in most cases when reformatting has to be done any files you want have to be backed up, although there can be cases your drive may be too infected and it can be too risky to save any files. However, if viruses invade the boot sector of the drive and infect it, then the simple task of instructing to boot from the cd-drive first may be impossible since the BIOS may get screwed up as well.

I had the virus i-worm/netsky.b and after running AVG antivirus several times I decided to pay Grisoft.com a visit and found virus removal utilities. I downloaded the removal tool for i-worm/netsky.b. which removed the problem with ease.

I actually had a problem with a different virus and AVG would not remove the virus with its built in virus scan; I, however, did find an alternative (for Netsky viruses as well) given by grisoft/AVG at the following URL: grisoft.com

I would suggest following the URL's instructions to the letter. If you do, you can then run AVG's Scanning Software and the Virus will have disappeared.

This removed the other virus for me and it is also supposed to work for the netsky viruses as well.

• • Be careful opening your emails especially from email addresses you do not recognize. I would suggest scanning them first or signing up with an email service that scans them for you. I keep getting sent the Netsky virus over and over again to one of my accounts but it is detected and cleaned before being sent to me, fortunately. I suspect that someone has me as a contact and has gotten a hold of their email list and started sending me email supposedly from these other valid email addresses. I do not expect this to clear up until that person, realizes they have the netsky virus and "cleans" their computer.

Good Luck!
