"Help an idiot in need"

Me being the stupid and rather drunk fool that I am, have decided to receive a virus over MSN *hits himself over the head with a cricket bat* you know the one, "do you want to see my pic" "okay" and they send you a frickin .exe file and stupid me dosen't pay any attention to that and receives it. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows a way of getting read of the little bugga without having to wipe my hard drive.

Cheers for ya help

Ah well I couldn't be bothered to POP it so I am just going to copy and paste it for you Tim. Hope this helps:

Ok boys and girls, heres a full ist of instructions of how to rid ure system of that virus if it is infected, dont worry its not harmful, its just designed to spread as fast as it can, it does nothing bad to ure system. These instructions are actually included within the virus which shows that it is not made to harm ure PC.

1) Click Start, select Run. The Run dialog box pops up.

2) Type: msconfig The System Configuration Utility pops up.

3) Click the Startup tab at the top. In the list, find MsgSprd, Messenger, or pic1324, uncheck, press Apply,then press Ok.

4) Restart your computer Or press Ctrl-Alt-Del (Task Manager), select Msg Sprd from the list, then press End Task.

You may freely delete the files or the 'C:Messenger1324' directory.

Also delete the .exe file that you accepted in messenger, this will be in the c:/My documents/Messenger revieved files/ folder.

If you got antivirus software you should have an emergency disk available to boot up with. If not, you have no choice but to reboot from scratch.

There is diffinently a moral to this and that is, "Drinking causes virus'".

That was me Boxer thank you everybody goodnight.

Ive had a little bit too much too drink, I wouldn't usually be this stupid, I don't think I would anyway hmmmmmmm.

My motto has, is and always will be: "Anyone who's stupid enough to open a virus like that deserves to get a virus"

Therefore, I have no sympathy for you.

Not that I'd help a Ninty, anyway! ;-)

Then again if it was someone else wth the same problem the I would be laughing my head off ROFL

LOL :-)
