I WAS HAXED =D

JOURNAL ENTRY 9/2 - 9/5

By who you ask?

The noob shank who invented the Video DirectX Access virus.

What did it do, you say?

It caused my computer to go in a never ending spiral, of desktop refreshing and ultimately causing me to go into the fetal position for about 3 hours. Every 5 sec. when it refreshed, all programs that were running closed, giving me a 5 sec window to scan my whole system. (that didn't work)

How did you delete the bastard, you ask?

I'm glad you asked.

I figured out that the only program that ran properly was the Task Manager so I started "Ending Processes" for random .exe's to see if that would stop the refreshing to allow me to run a spyware scan. And then I clicked explorer.exe and ended its process. It worked. Don't ask me why or how, it just did. And finally I was able to delete the virus.

THE END.

How was your labor day weekend?

Yeah, I didn't think of that initially. So boot a live Kubuntu CD, apt-get ntfs-config and replace explorer.exe with the normal one.

Er, make that Knoppix.

bendodge has a point there. Good thing I keep off those bad sites and keep my computer free from viruses.
