Another Old Content Update. I'm not hosting the Automatic Removal Tool anymore, so who knows when the link will expire.

Realphx / TalkStocks ( AIM Virus ) Removal Instructions / Tools:

Download the Removal Tool (automated javascript) -- Just download it and run it. (or just open it directly)

These may have appeared in your profile if you have been infected:

Manual Removal Instructions:

1. Press the CTRL, ALT, and DEL keys at the same time to bring up the task manager.
2. Click on the processes tab (windows 2000/XP), and find 'b.exe', 'bbb.exe' or 'av.exe' and kill the process.
3. Go to C:\Windows\ and delete 'b.exe' and 'bbb.exe' or 'av.exe' (or do a search for the virus: click Start > Search > look up each virus individually) Delete these when you find them.
4. Click Start, then click on Run, type in "Msconfig" in the box and press ENTER.. When the box comes up, click on the "startup" tab and look for "b.exe" or "av.exe" listed (possibly listed under"antivirus") then uncheck the box to the left. (Windows 98/XP only)
5. Clear your profile (or make a new one) and restart.
6. When the msconfig box comes up after restart just check the box telling it not to come up again.

Recommend Search-and-destroy Antispyware to anyone. I would like to recommend Search-and-destroy Antispyware to anyone that wants a good scan for their computer. I tired many other scanners in the past but so far I like this one the best. It’s cheaper than many of the others and it cost less. What more can you ask for? The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy found at http://www.Search-and-destroy.com is a great option whether you use your computer for work or personal use. It will keep it clear and clean of antispyware that bogs down your PC and causes it to be sluggish and annoying.
