New virus

[Guest]

Had anyone found on his Windows XP in the task list a programm called teekids? Its a terrible thread, it shortcuts your firewall settings disabling it, and can shut down the computer. Has anyone an antidote?

Hi

You are infected with the W32.Blaster.C worm...

It's a renamed version of Blaster:
"Technologically, the new modification of "Lovesan" is a
copycat of the original. Slight changes were made only to
the appearance of the worm: a new name of the main worm-
carrier file (teekids.EXE instead of MSBLAST.EXE), a
different method of code compression (FSG instead of UPX),
and new "copyright" strings in the body of the worm
verbally abusing Microsoft and anti-virus developers."
