Last night while talkign to a friend on msn messenger they recieved a weird message after they sent me a file, it went something like this: The Riot Be The Rhyme Of The Unheard says:
Welcome to Kryptonic Ghosts Automatic File Accept and run System created by SpikE from http://Elite-Oracle.cjb.net
Please write lots of crap to this user now so that it hides the file invitation

The Riot Be The Rhyme Of The Unheard says:
Kryptonic Ghost Commencing automatic file transfer of Baby and dog!.bmp

the files new directory will be C:\WINDOWS\
If this file is an EXE file then you can open it on the victims PC by simply typing **

I searched over the internet for ways to remove this, i came across the following site.
kryptonic Ghost Removal

After following the exact points shown, the virus is still on my machine so i was hoping someone out there would be able to tell me a program or piece of software that will remove it for me, i have tried anti-virus software but it cant find it, though i know its still there!

Sorry for the long winded question but i need help, cheers in advance.

    best thing to do is talk to Spike.
    last time i met up with him, his address was sparky_69uk@hotmail.com.

    to be perfectly honest with you mate I'm not sure if he'll be able to help much for a little while (hes just deleted the source code for Kryptonic Ghost and started again from scratch).

    hope it works out in the end

    ps...try this...
    go to RUN on your start menu.
    type MSCONFIG and click OK.
    you should get a window.
    click the STARTUP tab at the top.
    You'll see a list of the things your computor runs when you turn it on.
    De-select the thing called RUNDLL34 (_make_sure_its_RUNDLL34_)
    save your changes...it should be ok from now on.

    (by the way...this is what i did to get rid of it, and sorry i dont mean to tell you how to do it like you're a moron or anything like that...i just wanted to make sure i cover every step to make it easier to understand and explain)

    oh yeah...you may have also noticed that since you were infected by KG, the ALT+CTRL+DEL command doesnt work.
    You can get round this (if you are VERY quick) by hitting the ALT+CTRL+DEL keys _as_soon_as_you_see_the_desktop_.
    (when you see your background but the icons etc havent loaded yet).
    when it works you'll see a few things loaded...click cancel then immediatly do the ALT+CTRL+DEL again...keep doing this till you see the RUNDLL34, click it and terminate it.

    there ya go...couple of ways i managed to rid myself of the annoying KG.

    So basically what your saying is KG is a simple little startup item?

    hmmmmm... hardly seems like a 'worry' to me

    You could suss out where this thing is by attempting 'Safe Mode' whilst booting up or by pressing F8 for advanced start-up options...

    if u can't get rid of it using virus killing software u might have to format your hard drive but still there's no guarantee th@ you'll get rid of it:confused:
