Hey, don't panic Wink

. Who says that you're spreading a virus? How did they know it? What file have you received? Please provide as much details as you can.

Regards, CoJK

OK
I talk with my friends through IRC. They say that I'm starting dialogs with them and then posting web links. Some friends clicked the links and now start dialogs with everyone, even me. They say that do not know what's happening, as they do not see any dialogs opened.

The file is named q4keygen.exe.

First of all you should check this description: http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-mircnuf.html. Your system is infected with Mircnuf worm that is responsible for sending q4keygen.exe file. This file is malicious and IS NOT a key generator.

You can get rid of Mircnuf by scanning your PC with antivirus and anti-spyware software. Make sure you have the most recent updates.

P.S. NEVER download keygens! These files not only are illegal, but also viral and really dangerous.

Good luck!

Spreading the knowledge:

It is very hard to fight Computer parasites alone in internet space. If you have a website we would be more than happy if you would help us to spread the knowledge about latest threats. You can help your visitors to manage their Computer system manually without aditional expences. Knowledge is the power, we just need to spread it.
