Internet is a place which is flooded with security problems and viruses and you need to stay alert of any suspicious links or messages in the inbox or instant messenger.
There has been a virus which is spreading through MSN / Live messenger which shows you a link in the IM window with a text which says
“Hi,this is your photo? – Some link here.
Do not click on the link on this message, this takes you to a url which infects your computer with this virus. It downloads a virus file called Picture_2525.exe and installs it.
If you have accidentally clicked this link, below is the method to remove this virus manually.
How To Fix The Problem?:
I recommend that you always use a good antivirus tool, free or paid, with real-time protection which can save you from such viruses.
If this virus has already infected your computer, follow following procedure:
1. Open Windows Task Manager (press Ctrl+Shift+Esc simultaneously), go to the Processes tab and right click at the processes below and select End Process:
svlost.exe
svlostSrv.exe
tasman.exe
2. Then simultanously press Win+R to bring up the Run window and type the following command.
sc delete svlostServices
3. Delete the files listed below in Windows\System32 folder.
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll
svlost.exe
svlosta.dll
svlostb.dll
svlostSrv.exe
tasman.exe
4. Again simultanously press WIN+R to bring up Run window and type the two commands below. Type once, hit enter and then continue to the second one.
reg delete "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v default_page_url /f
reg delete "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v "Start Page" /f
The virus has been completely removed from your computer. However, I’d still advice you to change your MSN password just to be on the safe side.
