Bliss980's site passes an Exploit-ByteVerify worm

September 7, 2003 4:37:05 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I don't want to re-open a discussion closed by the admins, but in this case it looks like it fair to issue a warning.

I was curious about his claim that the link he posted contained a virus and investigated that. He was wrong about the virus. It was a worm.

If you clicked on the link (which has been removed by Jafo) in Bliss980's thread "Help WinCustomize.com/Perchase" then please run a virus scanner. The site infects your system with an "Exploit-ByteVerify" worm. For more information see: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100261.htm

BTW: His other thread still contains such a link.

Do not click the link in post #4 in https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=185297

Can one of the admins remove that post?

Hmm, but that's a link to a .gif. Not an .exe.

Maybe I am wrong with that one, but the other sure did the trick.

BTW: To remove that worm you can run an anti-virus program, but that will only delete infected files, which will cause problems with Java. To prevent that uninstall Java and reboot. After that delete in C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\.Java and .jpi_cache (when present). Reinstall Java. Done.

And it seems handy to open the System Properties (right click My Computer and select properties), select System Restore and turn it off. Then follow my steps above. Don't forget to re-enable System Restore afterwards.

This will prevent the worm from appearing at a later date.

Thanks for the warning. I use a firewall and anti-virus software when I use Windows, but I will look for this worm on my system just to be safe.

As he said. He didn't know it was there and he didn't put it on! I think you should give hime another chance. He didn't do anything wrong!

Interesting that a fairly recent registrant would go to the trouble of finding and then resurrecting a five month old thread to plead on the behalf of someone previously exiled......

Nice try......Bliss980 old is still your only login.  I see that this is not the first time that you created a new login.  You can't just keep creating new accounts so that you can freely download from the site, and you were already explained that.  I have noted your information and will have to take additional steps if I see another account created under your info.

His multiple account making to attempt to bypass DL limits was part of his undoing, amongst others.

craeonics thinks that people who resurrect dead threads for no good reason should be forced to live in a morgue.
