Subject: Virus removal

If you have recieved a file called Pretty Park, follow this procedure now!!!!

Click Start, Run

Type Regedit

Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Goto SOFTWARE

Goto CLASSES

Goto exefile

Goto shell

Goto command

Open the key (double click on it). I think its called default

Change the Files32.vxd "%1" %* to "%1" %*

Delete any files called Pretty park.exe

Restart your PC

Delete the file called files32.vxd in D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

 

If you dont follow this procedure exactly, or leave it, the virus will trash your system. It may have been sent to you from my email address, it automatically sends it to everyone in your address book.
