I have this virus, I havent been able to get rid of it - its a real pain. My links dont have that "Have you seen this?", just a smiley face and a link with some domain name that resolves to 209.123.8.198 to download some renamed version of the virus. Has anybody found a way to get rid of this thing? I tried Symantecs instructions, (although I dont have symantec anti-virus) and it didn't work.

Oh, and a warning, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK THATS GONNA APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THIS COMMENT! That is if it affects comments here and I can go back and edit. On forums I have been able to go back and edit my posts to get rid of the links.

Apparently they haven't been able to find a cure for this virus. I've read that unless they are able to find the people responbile for this virus, whom they don't know, and arrest them, this virus might continue on. I'm not really looking forward to phase 2 of this person's or persons' plan.

Right now the only safety measure to prevent this virus from spreading is for any website creators, owners, forum moderators or administrators, etc. to go into the programming code for the bulletin boards or message forums and disable all html code, php code, bbc code, etc. on their sites or boards. Or, at least disable linking. Other tags or code could still work, such as text formatting codes, but hyperlinking or text linking can be disabled.
