I THINK it's a worm, cuz when i shut down my comp by using Start Button and turning off (Instead of holding off switch), it says "Waiting for [Xxx-WhBoy Worm] to End"...
So, I'm GUESSING it's a worm...

What's wrong w/ my comp right now:
-on MSN Messenger, when I want to type to my friends, it says like:
하어힘나ㅓ하ㅣ어ㅣ
허ㅏㅣ어하ㅣ어
허ㅏㅇ허이ㅏㅓ
http://www.krvkr.com

or something rly close to that... (The random Gibberish is different every message), and that would send like every 2 seconds AUTOMATICALLY!!!

-ActiveX does NOT work (I tihnk this is so VIrus scan on internet won't work)

-Internet disables by itself (And when i try and connnect through Control Panel, it says "Connection Failed!"



So, guys... watch out?

ADDITION:
Oh yeah! Another effect is:

-Something like:
Windows-No Disc
(X) There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive .
[Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]

Notice after "Please insert disk into drive ." there is a space where a NAME OF A DRIVE IS SUPPOSED TO BE!! but isnt'...

So yeah... Dont' get messed up like i did (Good thing I quit makin maps so i have nothign to lose when i reformat...)

Well for starters is that link above "safe". Also whenever you get a virus or worm its recommended that you turn off the modem. Only use it if your going sites that deal with them or else more things enter your comp.

I'm guessing all those things i said that are wrong w/ my comp are the source of ONE virus...

That's not random gibberish, it's an advertisement, but the site seems to be a giant 404.

I'm not sure if that's the correct site, but it's pretty close to the name of the site.

And when i shut down it says Waiting for "xXx-WhBoy_Worm" and i always click "End Now"

It's clearly a worm, but all it is doing is advertising.

Nah, it's doing a LOT more.

-After a while, computer gets sluggish and then soon becomes unusable
-After a while, internet becomes disabled PERMANANTLY until i reset
-Active X does NOT work
-it wont let virus scanners upgrade to newer versions (So I'm guessing it's a new virus)
-Some error messages about Inserting a Disc into drive keeps comin up non-stop...

--Your computer is getting sluggish because of how many ads it pumps on at once, taking up CPU time.
--Don't use the internet, as that worm will invite more worms to the party.
--Every time I caught a worm or virus, ActiveX quit on me too.
--It's a smart worm, not letting you call for reenforecements.
--This worm attacks your disc drive (obviously).


The quick, pricier way of fixing this:
Get a new computer.

Dude, don't advise stupid suggestions like that.

Try AVG free for a good virus scan... avast... some online virus scans like the one Trenc Micro has.... and look for some good anti-spyware like Ad-Aware

Umm reformatting is not an option?

It is, but do you really want to? -_-

If you want to, go ahead, I guess.

delete EVERYTHING in your internet's temp files, and your hardrive's temp files.

Start > search > all files and folders > type in temp > search
