I have never heard of a virus that announces itself.\nNormally, you only find out you have a virus if your virus software tells you or when you restart and cannot access anything without an emergency boot disk.\nIt sounds like you are may be the victim of a joke rather than a virus.\nBut to be safe, do not restart the computer, as this is the point that many viruses take hold.\nInstead, do as others have suggested and scan the computer with a well known virus software, or 2 or 3 (not all virus software is equal).\nAfter that, visit your computer manufacturer's website to download and install new bios software - - then restart the computer using the full shutdown/power off option.\nIf you have an IT pro (at your office), or if you know a computer geek (at home), get them to do all this for you.

The worst case virus I think was CIH/Chernobyl. This could destroy the BIOS on some machines, which means you couldn't even format and reinstall.

it gets viruses from the computer

CMOS viruses are the worst. They get into your BIOS which means you have to replace the hardware. The second worst are MBR and HDD viruses. MBR viruses get into the part of the hard drive that boots before windows giving the virus unlimited access to you hard drive and hardware. HDD viruses can burn your hard drive up. Third are system viruses but they are easy to recover from. Just reformat. Last are prank/annoyance/joke viruses. They don't do much other then send a message and take up system resources.

IMPORTANT - NEW VIRUS ALERT!!!\n\n\n\n\nThere is a dangerous virus being passed\nelectronically, orally and by hand. This virus is called\nWorm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If\nyou receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your\nboss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT.\n\n\nThis virus will wipe out your private life completely.\nIf you should come into contact with WORK put your\njacket on and take two good friends to the nearest pub.\n\n\nPurchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE).\n\n\nTake the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated\nfrom your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do\nnot have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is\ncontrolling your life.\n\n\n\n\nUpdate: After extensive testing it has been concluded that\nBest-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be\nsubstituted for WINE but may require a more generous application.\n\n\n\n\nOne day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy\nnightie. "Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want."\n\nSo he tied her up and went golfing.\n\n    ***********************************************\n\nA woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the\nhouse. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, Honey, pack\nyour bags. I won the damn lottery!"\n\nThe husband said, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain\nstuff?   "Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get the hell out of here."\n\n    ***********************************************\n\nMarriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the\nother is a husband.

From what I have gathered thru my search it is some kind of antibody.\nXenotropic murine-like retrovirus (XMRV) is closely related (96% genomic identity) to a group of retroviruses found in mice, xenotropic murine leukemia virus. Xenotropic means the virus crossed species.  Though such viruses can cause disease in animals other than mice, there has been no documented human infection until a recent report, in which the virus was detected in prostate cancer tissue.   The virus's link to human disease is still unclear, and more study is needed to determine the relationship, if any, between the virus and cancer.   While the genetics of prostate cancer are complex, one of the first genes implicated in the disease was RNASEL, a gene that serves as an important defense against viruses. Given the anti-viral role of this gene, some researchers have speculated that a virus could be involved in some types of prostate cancers in men with mutated RNASEL genes.\n\nIn the new study, the researchers discovered the novel virus far more often in human prostate tumors with two copies of the RNASEL gene mutation than in those with at least one normal copy. \nThe new finding further validates the strategy of using the virus chip to discover previously unknown viruses and potentially uncover new viral causes for disease, the researchers say. While most other virus identification techniques require researchers to look for only a small number of candidates, the virus chip represents an unbiased search, since all known viruses are tested simultaneously. \n\nThe study is part of an on-going effort launched two years ago by DeRisi and Ganem at UCSF, using the chip, or microarray, to search for new viruses associated with a wide range of human disease. So far, the chip has been used to search for novel viruses in about 300 cases of respiratory infections and about 50 cases of meningitis, as well as a dozen or more cases of severe encephalitis, and hepatitis and leukemia. \n\nIn the study, researchers examined tissue samples of 86 prostate cancer patients whose prostates had been surgically removed. Among the 20 prostate tumor samples from men with mutations in both copies of their RNASEL viral defense gene, eight of them, or 40 percent, contained the virus, while the virus was found in only one of 66 tumors from men with at least one normal copy of the gene. \n\nThe researchers don't know if the virus is unique to prostate tumors because this is the first tumor type they have studied using virus chip technology. As with most scientific discoveries, the identification of this virus in human prostate tissue prompts many more questions than it answers, they emphasize. \n\nThe gene-hunting technique DeRisi and Ganem call the Virochip is designed to identify any virus sample by comparing its DNA or RNA to more than 20,000 snippets of genetic material derived from all known viruses -- found in humans, animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. The chip draws on computer chip technology, computation and bioinformatics, but in essence it is a simple 3 x 1 inch glass microscope slide. Onto the slide the scientists robotically deposit 10 to 12 different DNA sequences from all known viruses. \n\nEach sample appears as a microscopic dot, about a tenth of a millimeter in diameter –giving it the name micoroarray. Researchers then wash fluorescently tagged DNA from a sample of interest over the slide, and wherever the two sets of nucleic acid match up, they anneal to each other. The slide is then rinsed and visualized with a scanning laser microscope. The dots that have found a match glow with fluorescent light. \n\n\nOctanol/Water Partition Coefficient \n The ratio of the amount of a substance that will dissolve in octanol versus the amount that will dissolve in water.  The higher the octanol/water partition coefficient the greater the tendency of substance to be stored in fatty tissues. \n \nOrganelle \n A subcellular structure such as the mitochondria or nucleus

make sure you wear protection - there's a lot of viruses out there!

It highly depends on the type of virus.  Ranging from a mere trojan to a biobomb what you may have to do varies.\n\nIf its a trojan get an antivirus like avast and run it then get a decent firewall and install that to help prevent future occurences.\n\nIf its really bad and your comp starts with a blue screen or worse wont start at all.  You could need to either wipe your bios, your harddrive, or worst of all buy a new motherboard.\n\nHope its the former.

Turn off your System Restore ... every time you clean the virus it remain in the system restore ... when you reboot ... it reloads itself ....\nTurn it off .... Scan ...... reboot ..... Turn it back on

If it is the Backweb I am thinking of it is a Program that used to be used on Compaq and HP computers for remote support.  Later they found it was full of holes and stopped using it.  Alot of Anti-Spy programs actually list it as a threat.  You can check the quarantine file for your antivirus for the missing files and approve them, or you can download, Microsoft Defender, Lavasoft Ad-aware SE, or Spybot Search & Destroy.  Running all three should remove all of the files related to the program.  You may also have to remove it from the start up list, by going to Start > Run and typing MSCONFIG.  Click the startup tab and look for Backweb in the list of programs starting up with your computer and uncheck it.  Hope this helps.

On the 3rd day of any month, approximately 30 minutes after an infected system is started, the worm overwrites files on local drives with the following extensions with the text "DATA Error [47 0F 94 93 F4 K5]":\n\nDOC \nXLS \nMDB \nMDE \nPPT \nPPS \nZIP \nRAR \nPDF \nPSD \nDMP \nTesting confirms that this payload does not affect mapped network drives.\n\nIt is programmed to attack every 3rd day on the month.\n- It is actually a WORM.\n- It is not as much effective as it expected.\n- Once a system infected by the worm all word, excel, powerpoint and Pdf file will be corrupted.\n- The mouse and keyboard will be locked and will force to restart the system.\n- Very little complaints made about the infections on this worm(about 3000 complaints)\n- In India and the state of Andhra Pradesh reported its database was locked. This explained becuase of the lack of prevention measurement taken by its engineers.\n- Did your system got affected by this virus?\n- Let me know if you receive any message on this.\n- wish you virus free computing..........!
