Virus attacks Microsoft Operating Systems
It was reported that currently there are close to 9 million PCs, mainly in companies networks, being infected by a virus in Asia, Europe and the U.S. This virus attacking Microsoft operating systems is believed to be a form a digital hijacking has been spreading rapidly through corporate networks, according to F-Secure.
Fortunately, this virus which is exploiting Microsoft operating systems loop-holes or bugs, is not working as intended by the original designer of the virus. The virus’s coding appears to alert computer users to bogus infections in their PCs and in turn offer to sell antivirus softwares to them. One thing to note is that a number of variants of the virus started to appear.
Microsoft said the virus is spreading by gaining access to one computer and then guessing at passwords of other users in the same network: “If the password is weak, it may succeed.”
Last Tuesday, Microsoft has issued a security patch to tackle the loop hole that this virus is attacking. Please be warned that the virus also disable the automatic Windows update. Kindly do a manual update to protect yourself.
I think my laptop has infected by the virus. Everytime, I browse with my Internet Explorer, I’ll be directed to a an anti virus called Anti Virus 360.
Hi Horizon,
I think it would be good if you try to changed your default homepage for your IE to another website and scan for virus. Try to do a Windows Update too.
Restart your laptop and try if the problem persist.
