G'day,

If you have the latest Trend Pattern, and patch you'll beable to isolate the virus and remove it.

You can also go thru your System files in the windows\system, directory and manually delete it.

This virus is activated when a user opens an attachment from the decoy\dummie email address.
If you recieve a email from an unknown address delete it! ie( jane RE:hey!) crap like that < just delete them.

Once active, them worm strips the users known addresses and address lists resends it self again making the chain continue.


Aliases: W32/Sober.g@MM, Win32.Sober.G, W32/Sober-G, Sober.G, I-Worm.Sober.G.

Pattern file needed: 890 (1.890.31). Scan engine needed: 6.500

Hope this helps! and remember to delete any suss emails.

thanks ..... i have got all the stuff i need from trend i even asked them and got info which unfortunately, being thick at pcs haha, i dont understand. I did go into the system files (after writing down from the scan exactly where they were) and then i cant delete those files. Some are there and others i cant find.
The emails u mention, they are going to my outlook express which open when i click on them, but my virus scan is running so howcome i still get infected -------oooo im losing my mind here !!!!!!!!!
ANother thing please, i had to download a thing from trend Tsc - which apparently should have sorted this virus out but it does not - i think i am doing something wrong here...... HEEELLLPPPP :

Hey, chill!

Alright i want you to get the program Stinger, its a standalone virus scanner by 'Network Associates Inc.'
It will pick up almost every known threat, as does trend. But i've found it removes some virus's that i had probs wid such as sasser. <big Pain>

Also remember that the virus's could be running in the back ground, you need to quarintine the virus, which will stop the process runnning then remove the dead files.

I haven't got much time to go into where the exact files are n what there names are as they change.

If you've got PCCillin, (trend) there's quarintine folders, called ' virus', 'suspect' and or just 'temp'. This is where you find the dead files to remove. Mave sure you hav the latest virus patchs and patterns. & windows updates.

Run the free online anti-virus scanner at www.trendmicro.com and that should take care of your issue. I have found that trend micro and AVG, although they are free, work better than the paid versions of Norton and waaaaaay better than Mcaffee.
