VIRUS: HTML.Redlof.A

Alhamdulillah... Finally I can get rid of this virus. Thanks to Allah SWT, Azza wa Jalla for introducing me with that sort of virus so that now I know what virus is. Thanks to Paul too for helping me. Eventhough it costs me HEAPS!!! 100 bucks men!! I could've use it to go to AIESEC's SLDS 2003. Never mind. As long as I still can use my sweet TOSHI :) Anyway, I'll talk about the virus today. The virus that hit my TOSHI called HTML.Redlof.A. According to Andre Post, HTML.Redlof.A is "a polymorphic, encrypted, Visual Basic Script virus that infects .html, .htm, .asp, .php, .jsp, and .vbs files on all drives. Depending on the location of the Windows System folder, the virus copies itself to either %windir%\System\Kernel.dll or %windir%\System\Kernel32.dll. It changes the default association for .dll files." I have got this virus from one of my friend when she went to my first website. I thought it's alright but then its getting worse. This virus also known as VBS/Redlof@M by McAfee or VBS/Redlof-A by Shopos. This virus affects all Windows systems but does not affect UNIX and Linux. The virus will insert itself into all e-mail messages created by an infected user, just like me for example. However, I am not using Outlook Expresss to send my e-mail. Therefore, I haven't spread the virus yet. Before, I can't be bothered to update my anti-virus software but since now I supposed I should be. Hehehe... :)
