Removing the Yahoo / AOL / MSN Messenger Virus
Virus Name: W32 Sohanad.B or W32 Sohanad.C
This is a worm that spreads itself by sending links to your contacts in Yahoo, AOL and Windows Live messengers. It disables the Registry Editor and Task Manager, changes the Internet Explorer (IE) home page and also modifies registry such that you cannot change the homepage address. For more details on this worm, read the TrendMicro virus Information.
Here are simple steps to get this worm removed from your system:
1) Download the attached file below and unzip it using Winzip or Winrar..
[Note: If u cant See the attached file, Please Login with your id]
2) Double click on the downloaded exe file, it will execute to restore from the damage done to registry by the worm.
3) Restart your system.
4) Delete the file svhost32.exe from your Windows folder( If it is present).
5) Delete the file svhost.exe from your Windows folder( If it is present).
And the silly worm's story ends!!!
You can now use the Yahoo messenger peacefully.
By the way, I have a suggestion for you: Use
Firefox browser to avoid such worm attacks in future. It is much more secure than the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
