:-: gTalk Virus

Some of you might have noticed my twitter status by now. Yeah last week I had a terrible virus attack after clicking a link in a offline send by my friend, in gTalk / google talk.

After clicking on that, my mouse and keyboard got frozen, and all I can do is sit and Njoy seeing the virus opening the all contacts in my gtalk and pasting the same link; But I was smart enough to pull out the network cable.

He couldn't defeat me, but destroyed my time.

It deactivated my antivirus, system restore was frozen, started corrupting my system files, created new folders, created new services etc... what a mess.I tried various circus to stop him from causing further nuisance....

This was the first virus attack on my machine in the last 10yrs :(

Nothing worked at all, and did a final attempt through recovery dvd, after backing up my data files.

Now I am back to a 2006 xp edition and upgrading one by one to 2009 standards.

By the by wmispqd.exe was the virus who was trying his luck with me.
