Fuckin BugBear Virus

[oubeta]

I think I have the worst strain of it possible. I'm in bed last night and my girl wakes me up and says my printer is printing. WTF, I catch it on page 32 of 600. No shit
It has disabled my pop email server, zonealarm firewall, kazza, norton, mgafee virus scanners and really fucked up my machine. I can't run a virus scan, I open it and it promptly gets shut down 2 seconds into scanning. I called tech support at the University and they said I had to format my hard drive. Problem it I don't even have a windows disk. All my software is downloaded of Kazza. They told me not to back anything up bacause it has copied itself to files. I tried running the debug of mgafee homepage, an hour later I check it and there is a black screen with a green line across it. I've tried everything short of formating. Anyone else have the virus this bad.
the strain I have is wn32/bugbear, transdark worm also.
Any help??

Where do you think this virus came from OUBeta?

 

[oubeta]

Who knows, kazza maybe? My virus scanners didn't catch it.
My computer runs great one minute then bogs down on locks up the next.

fucking scarey... is it easy to ID before you open the virus?

 

[oubeta]

Nope never knew I had it. I ran a stinger program to str to get rid of it, but it locked up also. this thing is unbeatable unless you catch it early. My computer and broadband connection is working now. I have to reboot about every 5 minutes of so. I think it copies itself also when you reboot. I know I'm gonna have to format, so what the hell.

Lesson is update your virus scan daily. This thing has different versions

My pc-cillin updates daily. You should look into it. Plus don't use outlook or outlook express. Use a web based email like yahoo. Much safer

It can also reconize credit card numbers and passwords.
