Internet is a place which is flooded with security problems and viruses and you need to stay alert of any suspicious links or messages in the inbox or instant messenger.

There has been a virus which is spreading through MSN / Live messenger which shows you a link in the IM window with a text which says

“Hi,this is your photo? – some link here

Do not click on the link on this message, this takes you to a url which infects your computer with this virus. It downloads a virus file called Picture_2525.exe and installs it.

If you have accidentally clicked this link, below is the method to remove this virus manually.

Fix:

We recommend that you always use a good antivirus tool, free or paid, with real-time protection which can save you from such viruses.

If this virus has already infected your computer, open the task manager by pressing Shift + CTRL + ESC key together and kill the following tasks :

svlost.exe
svlostSrv.exe
tasman.exe

 

After this you need to kill the virus service. Press Windows Key + R and type the following command and press enter:

sc delete svlostServices

After this is open the following folder -  c:\Windows\System32  and delete the below mentioned files:

libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll
svlost.exe
svlosta.dll
svlostb.dll
svlostSrv.exe
tasman.exe

Now clean the Registry entries by running following commands using Windows Key + R using the run prompt:

reg delete "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v default_page_url /f
reg delete "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v "Start Page" /f

 

As a precautionary measure, change your MSN / Windows Live Password.
