Help Help WORMSS messed up my computer!!! šŸ˜¢

Hey - Sorry to have to bother everyone like this but could anyone send some useful advice in my direction!?

WORMSS sent me a link ā€¦ Long Story ā€¦ and when I had finished looking on the page a wonderful little Adult entertainment icon popped up on my dsektop along with a Sudoku Programme called Yazzle!!!

Now I have gotten rid of Yazzle, but this horrible Icon keeps cropping up on my desktop and d/c me from the internet! It only happens when I am online and randomly seems to rear its ugly head from time to time!!!

I have found the source files in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and a selection og win##.tmp.exe crop up along with some registry files sdl##.tmp.reg, I can delete them but they seem to keep reclycling themselves and re appearing leading to the icon to appear on my desktop!

I have tried looking for abnormalities in regedit and other programmes and on the task manager when they appear but I cant find anything!

I do have a adware/popup blocker/virus scanner but they are a little slow and only seem to find things 5 mins after they have popped up or just as they are reclclying themselves rather than finding the cause of the problem!!!

I have been deleting my temporary internet files as soon as I leave webpages to try and counter any input from the internet but this seems futile as well! I recently looked for more info on the icon itself as it appeared in D:\Temporary Internet Files and it came up as a file from certain ip addy / website which I then stuck into my popup blocker, it blocks it but stuff still gets through, and it also is derived from an *.exe file called universa.exe (no ā€œLā€) and I have also looked for info on this on a few forums (Mainly ones in Dutch :dizzy:) and have not found a suitable solution!

Please Please Please Please PLEASE could someone send some info my way to help me get rid of this! Im sorry I am comming to you guys all pleady and needy but I am getting desperate as it seems to be getting worse and worse everyday and it is starting to debilitate my use of the computer :frowning: :sigh:

THANK YOU

Try there, read and follow the instructions on the last few posts.

Oh and tell Worms to stop watching/sending you that dodgy clown porn stuff :wink:

Oh godā€¦ iā€™d forgotten about the clown porn :lol:

Sounds like nasty spyware stuff Queeny, Spybot and Lavasoftā€™s adaware are two pieces of software that will get you off to a good start. Microsofts defender is supposed to be quite good too :slight_smile:

i have sent her adaware recently and she says she done the latest update on itā€¦ spybot i have not got as it tended to lock down some features that i use alotā€¦ got boring uninstalling it just to change a setting, then reinstalling it again.

and Clown Pron?

I dont even want to think about wanting to know!!!

Give panda titanium a bash

After you use Pandaā€™s trial version , goto
Start -> Run -> type
regedit.exe

CAREFULLY navigate and delete the following entried just to make sure :

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ .sdu
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ YazzleSudokuGame
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall
YazzleSudoku
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Ribu
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Yazzle Sudoku

Then quit .

Manually delete the folder in C:\Program files
