I was being stupid and clicked the link from Yahoo Administator (Big Nasty Trucker in disguise), now I have a virus is there anyway I can remove it from my computer?
Feel free to e-mail me.
If you see this guy's link DO NOT CLICK ON IT.
Thanks

The best way to remove a virus is with virus software. If you have some I would suggest updating the software and then running a scan on your computer. If you don't have a virus protection software you can go the the Symantec website and search for your virus there, but you will need to know the name of your virus, which is difficult to find without virus software. Now a days you really need virus protection software to even connect to the Internet, alot of people are un-aware of what certain links and websites to visit, which some may be corrupted.

Big Nasty Trucker has a few ID's
Big nasty Trucker is a whimp that spreads viruses in his questions by links.
Big Nasty Trucker ID has been discontinued. He now has taken the ID's...
Just good folk (2 ID)
Yahoo administration
Not suitable for yahoo
NoName- this one has been discontinued (just found out)
These are the ID's i have so far....
the real justgoodfolk is at level 4 and he has been avid in briging big nasty trucker down. if you look, he uses "just good folk" as two ID's and answers his own questions. you will know the fake justgoodfolk because he is at level 1. he is crazy and really needs psychiatric help. he responds to questions about himself and makes you click on a link to get rid of his own virus, but the link is still a virus. he gets pleasure out of this and loves the attention.

you should download avg free version, then update and scan with it then download mozilla firefox to prevent this type of thing. let me tell you, I went to the same site in firefox just to see what the reprocussions were and I think that saved my ***, I still got a trojan because it opend up java but it was nothing to remove it. It started moving my browser window and tried sending an email as well as dialing up a connection, but I don't have a modem so it was all good. if for some reason it tries it again, you just have to end task on mozilla

anti virus and if its a BAD virus that u cant get rid of save all your important files to a disk then just wipe out your computer...your computer should of came with a "restoration" disk it will wipe everything off your computer...but make sure you have the other disks that put important files on your computer (like windows and mincrosoft word...ext) then your computer will be fixed

Don't you have an anti virus on your computer. If not, go to 100.downloads.com and download one now. Then run it and it should take care of your virus.

you can use virus(visa) scan it comes free on every Microsoft computer. if you have an apple and managed to get a virus you deserve it so best bet is you have a micro

get/install McAfee Internet security or Norton Internet security and run a scan on the entire system. it will find those worms and eliminate them.
Good luck!
PS. use a proper browser such as Firefox, Internet explore is easily penetrated by these worms.

Get norton anti-virus or spybot or something like this. It will find the virus and then show it too you. You can then delete it if you want.
