Two viruses have been making the rounds lately, Badtrans-B and Aliz.
What they do is fire off emails containing clones of themselves to
everyone in your outbox, without your mail program even being turned
on...as long as there's an internet connection available.
If you got it, here's how to get rid of it:
Restart Windows in Safe Mode (reboot your computer, as soon as you
see the text Starting Windows at the botton of the screen, hit the F5
key - F8 on some systems, CTRL on others).
Click START | RUN, type %WINDIR%\SYSTEM and hit ENTER
Delete the following files (if they exist):
KERN32.EXE
KERNEL32.EXE
KDLL.DLL
HKSDLL.DLL
Click START | RUN, type REGEDIT and hit ENTER
Now do this right...this is important:
Click the (+) next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click the (+) next to SOFTWARE
Click the (+) next to MICROSOFT
Click the (+) next to WINDOWS
Click the (+) next to CURRENTVERSION
Click the (+) next to RUNONCE
Click on KERNEL32 and hit DELETE on the keyboard
Restart the computer.
Keep your virus updates up-to-date
