Re: New virus going around on msn messenger?

and since it is related to wkssvc.exe..

you can see it removed here in a hijackthis thread..

O23 - Service: Workstation Service Library (Microsoft Locator Service) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\wkssvc.exe

»gladiator-antivirus.com/forum/in···exe&st=0

wkssvc.exe is called the postcard virus. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.

You can check to see if wkssvc.exe is running in your registry and kill the process. Disable and remove wkssvc.exe immediately.

And just could be that old one..now being delivered a different way using 'social engineer' via MSN and a web site.
