Weirdo VBscript fucking with me. Help! - GoFuckYourself.com

I just started getting all these fucked up warnings about something changing all my files on my HD that have .html extenions. So I took a look at the source code and all of them have some vbscript way at the bottom that I didn't put there.

I think it might be one of those shitty email virus' things but I have no idea how I got it. I never open any attachments.

DAMN! I've gone over 5 years with out a virus... now this.

Anyone know whats happening... Norton isn't catching anything.

If you've got 95, 98 or ME...

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs->Click the 'Windows Setup' tab->Click on 'Accessories'->Click on 'Details'->Uncheck Windows Scripting Host

I believe that'll slow down what you've got. From there you'd need a virus scanner. Have you updated your Norton definitions lately?

Folks in the alt.comp.virus newsgroup are usually pretty helpful.

Just downloaded the new updates.. it seems to be catching it now.

It's finding 100's of infected files.
