New Irish Virus.

Ok for those that do not know how to do this, you need to follow these simple instructions.

open a dos box - you will find this in your menu called DOS PROMPT.

then type this line.

IWISHTODELETEALLMYFILES.COM

when it asks if you are sure answer 'na'.

If you have been able to follow this instruction - please then box up the compuetr in the boxes it arrived in (you did keep them - yes ? ) and return to where you got the computer from.

If they ask what was wrong with it, tell them it was this program.

IAMTOOSTUPIDTOOWNACOMPUTER.EXE

That was missing.

Ok, I now need some help.

-

I've done everything the "Irish Virus" said, and now my system is acting sluggish, and very unresponsive. What should I do? Post a HiJackThis log? Run Ewido?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Midnight,

Im not sure we can hep you, as this virus is especially difficult to remove becuase it targets after closing time, and grabs a hold of your system,

It then rants and raves and puts more junk onto your system, often bringing it mates with it (more viruses)

Because of this we cant keep up with it, and recommed you dont let your computer drive, do anything

So that means to run Ewido? Thanks Bertha, i'm downloading and running it now. Where do I post the log when i'm done?

Well if you wish you can post it here,

But I may not reply, Have you ever come to blows with an Irish virus?? (they are not the smartest ones, but that makes them difficult)

Especialy this variant, Its doesnt know whether its coming or going,

[Midnight Star]

Well guess what! I was just going to post the log and now i'm getting a blue screen everytime I reboot, some kind of code thing.

This is getting pretty ing as I need my computer for work. Not sure what to do next - what do you recommend?

Yes that sounds like the full blown Irish Virus, Its now in the ranting and raving stage where it makes no sense regardless of what you try to do,

Try putting it out in the rain to come round from its state?

Thanks for that! I'm trying some things out here, and running Ewido again. The blue screen seems to be gone, but now i've got even more trouble. The internet isn't working properly. I think i'm about ready to give up. I think i'll try a few more scans, and see what I get.

You and everyone that helps people like me are awesome! I can't say enough.

I'll let you know what I find in the next post, hopefully.

I asked my Gramma about this(she's good at this sort of thing). She said to cure the Irish Virus you need a pot of coffee and a ring of sausage.

So I'm thinking you should should start shoving sausage into every open spot you can find on your tower thingy and pour a pot of coffee over your screen.

Hopefully that will fix it once and for all *crosses fingers*

[Midnight Star]

Would you believe that actually worked! I'm going to go ahead and notify the 50+ other boards that I posted this very same problem in, that's it's finally solved. Thanks again to everyone - you guys rock!!!

Gramma's so smart!

Gotta remember to take the Guiness out of the cup holder on the computer before trying to fix it too.

I tried this .... there's this little button on my PC which I pushed and this tray came out, with a hole in it. I assumed it was a mugholder.

What an eejit I was! I put a nice, hot mug of steaming coffeee onto it and it broke!

And to the writer of the Irish Virus: Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat (OK, that's not very nice, and I don't mean it)
