Swine influenza internet or lock Windows


In the Internet started up another infection. Not as terrible as swine flu, of course, but at least unpleasant. At this time, because of the virus in the system, there is the following scenario.


After starting the system, vynyrivayet window with the message that you are using unlicensed Windu, and must send SMSku for a specific number. What's it like he saw the owner just did a licensing system? The system no longer works.

The screen may display a window of this type (but not necessarily)



Why is such a long time I have encountered and described in one of the first articles of this blog. And about a relative of such malicious, wrote recently in the article about the removal of the informer, a news feed from your browser. But here problemma more serious than a banner on split-screen browser. Although you can catch her, just the same way, setting the video codec for viewing video on the sites.

Search the network gave several solutions the problem, and describe them.

Anywhere, no SMS not sent.
If you caught the Trojans Winlock.19, then you ... very lucky. In the literal sense. This malware is configured to self-destruct after two hours of work a computer. So the solution is simply the patience. Leave your computer on for several hours, and then restart. If the problem persists, try the following method.
Log in windose in safe mode. For this, during startup, press and hold down the F8 key on your keyboard, then select run in safe mode. On the C drive go at c: / documents and settings / all users / application data / and delete from there two files: blocker.exe and blocker.bin, or any file with the name of blocker. (Any extension). Also need to remove the registry reference to the file, such as HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ Userinit. After rebooting should work fine. Immediately do a search on the computer, searching for files blocker. (Any extension), and then remove. Just in case, take a deep test antivirus software. By the way, instead of the folder / all users / may need to go to the folder with your vindovsloginom, and then in / application data /.
Make attending disc Live CD (http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/). Starts with him, and remove blocker.exe blocker.bin the folder: / documents and settings / all users / application data / and then on item 3.
You can also try to find the extra files called WINLOGON.EXE. Only the file has the right nasuschestvovanie in the system in the folder C: \ Windows \ System32. If you find it in another folder - removed immediately. Under this name can be masked by more than a hundred different viruses.

In general, I hope that you have a first or second case. In the future, do not install any video codec to view video on the sites - the virus is often there. To view the online video rather conventional flash player.

Blockers Windows and how to remove them available means


Beginning of the year was marked not only a fun holiday. Intensification of work the creators of various viruses, blocking the operating system. During the six months that have elapsed since publication of the article: "Swine flu Internet or blocking Windows", -, new versions, and techniques described in it may very well not work.

Recent following. At the end of the year began to work actively virus-blackmailer who claimed that you have violated the license agreement program Download Master and required to send SMS to number 4460. This at a time when the program is absolutely free. Accordingly, the forum company WestByte Software is topic on this subject. And with the beginning of a new intensified, which is disguised as Kaspersky Anti-Virus "Internet Sekurity". Emerging banner claims that you are again violated the license agreement or ended a license code. You, they say, 92 virus, and once again calling for SMS to get the unlock key. Moreover, short numbers and codes for SMS are constantly changing.

Against this background, deleting the old version of the banner-informer described in the article: "How to remove pop-up news ticker tape from the screen - already seems to be simple and easy. The site Dr.Web, on this occasion, even an article: "Windows Blockers and other viral threats in December 2009". As in many other forums dealing with computer security.

Examples of discussions on the question, where you can find the solution to your problem, see the following topic:
IXBiT.ru - "Windows is locked. To unlock about to send sms. What to do? Help is" 

VirusInfo - imax Download Manager or iLite Net Accelerator (Packed.Win32.Krap.w): description and treatment
Kaspersky Lab Forum - If your PC is locked Get Accelerator, Digital Access, File Downloader, iMax Download Manager, etc. Instructions for unlocking
Dr.Web users' forum - now under the guise of Internet Security, sms K206614300 of 4460 and Ekav, Screen Saver requests to send sms
One of the main methods to combat banner, accessible to ordinary users, at the moment is the selection of the key. To do this you can go to the page with forms of selection on sites Dr.Web and Kaspersky Lab. Also in the network may find the methodology of selection of the key code for SMSki as on the discussions in these forums above, and on simple sites (example).

The next step, after the successful selection of the code is the complete scrutiny of your hard drive for viruses. This should be done more recent versions of antivirus software. On Web sites like "Doctor Web" and "Kaspersky Lab's free curing utility that you can download and do a system scan: "Dr.Web CureIt!" And "Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool". Or, you can download the trial versions of antivirus software license. And then set free, but not bad, antivirus Avast, or buy a license for professional programs. Also, one must have a firewall ( "fire wall") at work on the Internet.

If the code is not able to pick up, then at the various sites that offer various solutions, including those described by me earlier in the previous article in this series.
For example (please note that this information is provided "as is"):
"... It may help to restore the system in the early period, then complete check for viruses ..."
"... Try to start Windu in safe mode and there in the Add or Remove Programs to remove the program that appears ..."
"... Went into safe mode, start the Automatic via msconfig (Start-Run) has all that there is a launch, lost, one by one began to include, what I do not know. Plugin.exe calculate the file sitting on your C: drive in Program Files , removed in the checked startup included, d *** ma no work. Good luck, can help someone. You can also delete the search for a specific date and time through Total komander ... "

Recall that the removal of the last date of files in the folder "C: \ Windows \ System32" could end tragically for your operating system. Even if you are an experienced user. As a result, still may have to reinstall Windu.

I hope that your problem is with the emergence of such blocking would be solved "small" efforts. Also recall that about how to determine the value SMSki and learn about billing, which serves the shortest possible number of articles: "SMS-trap, or, How to pay via SMS on the Internet". And knowing the contacts of the company, you will be able to claim they have the key to unlock the short number and code for SMS.

This is no joke. Influenza A (H1N1) - methods of prevention


Well, I did not think seriously: (when I wrote an article about the virus blocking Windows that such an infection as a California "pork" influenza type A (strain H1N1), in Reale in Ukraine will be. And given that my region, too, was in the zone Risk is already beginning to be neposebe. Well, because, in this case, the best option cure - it does not get sick, it is my duty, to describe those things on the prevention of the disease that I found on the web. Hopefully, this will be only a small, but my part to fight the epidemic.

As it turned out, the virus, if the body has other types of flu kills them. The risk of the disease in that it has all the same symptoms as normal, but very rapidly. And, if time does not apply to doctors, the disease becomes severe acute respiratory pulmonary pneumonia, with all the ensuing consequences. It spreads via droplets and airborne dust by between people (the pigs this virus is related in name only). The only effective drugs are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Article about the virus in Wikipedia: Swine_influenza. The situation with the epidemic in Ukraine is tracked on the portal page Forpost:    "UKRAINE attacking unknown viruses! ON-LINE"

Consider the symptoms. I really hope that neither you nor I are still not tangible. 

Adults:

  • Headache
  • Pain in the muscles (an ache in the body) 
  • Sore throat 
  • Increased body temperature 
  • Dry cough 
  • Runny nose and stuffy nose 
  • Disorders gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
Children. Warning Symptoms vary:

  • Cyanosis around the mouth, other skin. 
  • The appearance of hemorrhage on the body of the child (even very small), nasal bleeding.
  • High body temperature. 
  • Refusal of the child from drinking. 
  • Inability to wake the child or the lack of response to treatment. 
  • Excessive stimulation of the child or the appearance of convulsions 
  • Vomiting, frequent loose bowel movement (BW).
  • Complaints about the child to severe headache. 
  • Lack of urination. 
  • Lack of tears when crying.

Methods of prevention:

General:

  • Limiting contact with patients for influenza. If a person has symptoms of influenza, it is necessary to keep his distance not less than two meters.
  • Voluntary quarantine (not to go to places of mass gatherings of people, do not go to visit, to postpone the trip). 
  • The use of masks in the street and at work and at home. They say the massive use of masks stopped the epidemic. However, disposable mask is effective not more than 4 hours. Gauze masks can be reused after thermal treatment. The mask must be either a one-time, which after the change to throw in the basket, or multiple, which after washing should be carefully stroking a hot iron. Neprovereno, but there is information about some of the risks of wearing masks, in the sense of how the disease will occur if all the same to happen when you carry the infection - it matters to professional epidemiologists. But, obviously, if the mask will be used en masse, it will be effective. 
  • Wet cleaning of the premises every day. 
  • Airing premises several times a day.

Personal:


  • Do not panic.
  • Frequently wash hands with soap and water. 
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unwashed hands. 
  • Avoid hugs, kisses and handshakes.
    Cover nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing disposable nasal tissue, which immediately after use should be discarded.
  • At the first sign of disease (fever, dry cough), seek medical advice. But, unfortunately, the doctor can not diagnose yourself swine flu. Although the presence of viral infection is now possible to define a special rapid tests, if available, of course.   

 Consumer prevention, folk: 

  • Periodically rinse your mouth with salty water.
  • Increase availability of food products having in their composition antioxidants: green tea, fruit, fruit juice, this red grape wine. 
  • Drink warm water with the juice squeezed from the lemon. 
  • Vitamin C is taken, if it has a zinc, needed for its assimilation.
  • Using food garlic, onions and lemons, for prevention, no one has repealed. 
  • Smear nasal sinus oxolinic ointment, especially coming out of the house. 
  • If there are no special medicines, then you can drink for the prevention of antiviral drugs such as arbidol or amizon. Naturally, according to the instructions of dosages for prevention of their use, and if you have no contraindications and you do not accept the parallel incompatible drugs. It is better to consult a doctor, on this occasion. I can not say anything here. 
  • Immunization. They should do a few weeks before the predicted epidemic. All risks associated with this, you need to understand ourselves.

Finally repeat that all say there need to start on time, professional treatment. Do not tighten, even if you think that this is an ordinary flu.
