I am attacked!!

Virus!Recently my yahoo messenger started sending the below links from my ID to all my friends automatically! FLASH mUSIC: tAKE mE tO yOUR hEART HTTP://WWW.ISHOPLOLLIPOP.COM/... That link is pointed towards a file on the net! May be they expected a chain reaction. I searched the net. Here is the symptom and how to remove the program! Note: The spoolsv.exe file is located in the c:windowsSystem32 folder. In other cases, spoolsv.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm! Check this with Security Task Manager. So dont remove the spoolsv.exe in the win32 folder but you have to remove it if present in your windows main folder. detail how to is given below. As descibed above..... you'll need to delete the SPOOLSV.exe file from your main windows directory in SAFE MODE. This must be done in safe mode. The file is hidden so you'll have to be enable viewing of hidden files by going to any window, selecting the Folder Options....View tab, and then "Show hidden files and folders"..... DO NOT delete the spoolsv.exe located in your system32 folder as that one is legit. Then you'll need to go into the registy and delete the key which points to that vicious version of SPOOLSV.exe Mine was located at: HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun Related link
