I I Dnt Hate Mozilla But Use Ie Or Else....

Im pretty sure most of you are facing the same problem I was till I found the solution

the problem:when you open firefox, you get this very very annoying message that says
I I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE....
and doesnt allow you to open firefox heres the tut to fix this krap

W32.USBWorm spreads through [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]USB [COLOR=blue ! important]drives[/color][/color][/color]. Prevents user from using Firefox, shows message which reads, "I DNT HATE [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]MOZILLA[/color][/color] BUT USE IE OR ELSE..." The message header reads, "USE [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]INTERNET [COLOR=blue ! important]EXPLORER[/color][/color][/color] YOU DOPE." Firefox is then closed by force. Also blocks "Orkut" and "YouTube" sites.

Solutions

Format the usb drive first (your data may loose) which carries the [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]virus[/color][/color]

Press Alt+Ctrl+Del --> you can see 'Task Manager' --> click on Process tab --> Locate 'SVCHOST.EXE' (will see many SVCHOST.EXE, but select the one having 'User Name' same as your Windows login name). --> Click End Process button

Now proceed the following


Way 1

Open [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Task [COLOR=blue ! important]Manager[/color][/color][/color] by holding Ctrl + Alt + Del and click on the process tab.

- Ignore the warning messages and stop the SVC.Host for the system's user name.

- Navigate to C:/Heap41a and delete the contents of the folder. Smile.


Way 2

Start Menu>Run>regedit press enter key

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
CheckedValue reset it back to 1 from 2. ( to do that right click CheckedValue>modify>value data >

Beware of using USB [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Pen Drive[COLOR=blue ! important][/color][/color][/color] especially in the browsing center. Found some browsing centers in Bangalore too.

go to C:\heap41a and delete this folder, If the folder called test.exe delete that too from your desktop.

Clear all the key entries from this registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Explorer\ with entry called heap41a
W32.USBWorm

Warning : Try out this at your own risk
