impFix - Remove the MSN virus!

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

*LATEST UPDATE*

Well, as expected, more viruses are here now, and undoubtedly, a new impFix is required…

Thanks to everyone who commented on the old one here - you rocked

Still, I thought it would be time for a brand new post, so you guys can comment, spam, and whatnot. Heh.

As usual, just run this tool, and watch the viruses get removed… No specific virus - just the really current ones - and some which anti-virus software can’t touch at all… Oh, yes, this removes those that impFix 2 can remove, too.

Click HERE to download impFix 3

Anyways, for those of you who’re looking at this for the very first time - you’re in good hands - no worries - look at the comments at the old post, - and then make the decision for yourself!

Once again, the features of impFix v3 are:

Remove EVERY MSN worm to date
Generically remove MSN worms hiding in specific places
Click and it shall fix. Bwahahahaha.
That’s about it - if it doesn’t fix the worm/virus you have - e-mail me at hot_wired13[at]hotmail.com and I’ll sort you out personally. That’s for sure.

If impFix has helped you, or your company, or your friends out - please drop Yandao.com some spare change that’s lying around in your pockets to support future development
	To say “thanks” - with a simple $5 donation - and we’ll thank you like crazy
	To tell us that “we rocked” - with 10 bucks - because we saved you that dreaded trip to the computer repair store where the only thing they do is make you pay several hundred bucks!
	..or, any amount will do - even a cent. HONEST! (come on, you have a few cents to spare, don’t you?)

**** Anything below this line is old, old news - Kept here so you guys won’t get lost! ****

Update Again: Tool has been updated to Version 2 to fix the latest ones posing as MySpace worms: http://yandao.com/files/impFix2.zip - don’t worry, the old link points to the new file too!

Update: Tool has been fixed for those who have been getting the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS error. Re-download the tool and try again

Okay. Working through the night, and finishing at 2.26am, I came out with impFix for EVERYONE who has somehow got themselves infected by the IMProfile.net virus mentioned in the previous post HERE.

As mentioned earlier on, the virus causes your MSN/Windows Live Messenger to actually spam out LOADS of messages to everyone on your contact list, hence infecting them in return should they run the file from the website.

..and, as promised, here is a fix for the numerous who are affected:

Download link: http://yandao.com/files/impFix.zip

Basically, impFix removes the virus in question, thats it.

Have fun, and do post back if you like it, or if you encounter problems/issues with it!

Kelvin said,

thx fr getting us the solution man..
Kelvin said,

on February 2nd, 2007 at 11:01 pm

se: welcome glad to be of help

flaw: ehhh, free? since when fixing needs money i always thought its done out of goodwill one? those shops who charge should be stoned, overcharge, i mean.

sky: hmm, frankly, i didn’t want to bother about making a fix, since alot of rumours that i *created* viruses. then again, i saw my gf got affected too, then realised there are plenty of good people who wasn’t part of those crappy critics. so i did a a little research through the night lor, and compiled it into a program

Alvinbeo: NP! i know its irritating when msconfig disappear. leaves u very helpless, cannot stand it. even tools such as Hijackthis also got closed. got me scared for a few minutes

douglas: it was laggy cos the virus was probably using MSN to spam your friends. do warn them, k? have fun with it otherwise. haha!

to everyone i missed out! THANKS for trying the tool out! and THANKS for commenting!

Adrian said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 2:11 am

thanks so mcuh! I hope it works. it’s been bothering me soo much
Kelvin said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 2:18 am

sweetie & serra: welcome! have fun with it now. dont forget to come back here!

dy: lao xiong, what makes you even think i fit your han yu pin yin description? u might be spot on, or miles away. hahaa.

fan5hu: yup, there is 1 spreading, but it will die soon. authorities have been contacted to take down the server hosting that page (improfile.net). less of your friends infected already right? because i think the datacenter has taken that page down.

Mfan: wow. since when did the link spread to TP? anyways, have fun lol! spread e website abit abit!

Lynette: haha! will find a way to get that done! you have your dinner at peculiar hours, or is that supper?

kathRyn: come to think of it, new or old laptop (or even antique), once infected, poses a problem. Hmmmm.

jean: yup, its okay. changed because its clearing the windows HOSTS file since the virus infects it either way it still works

randomhearts: thanks for the support! appreciated much!

ahsie: haha. they give credit? abit unlikely. maybe stanley, but i don’t know the rest =x

jas: [yes i know u're asking fan5hu] errr, if it doesn’t work, contact me on MSN? i’m interested in knowing more about the new variant leh..
Kelvin said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 2:20 am

Adrian: to check if it works, go to Start > Run > msconfig
then press enter. a box should come up, if the box doesn’t close automatically after like 1 minute, it worked!

on February 4th, 2007 at 3:04 am

hey i dowloaded the file yet it didnt work. it says compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted..

now am i jst really really stupid or am i missing something?
Kelvin said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 3:09 am

navvir pasricha: hmm. maybe your internet provider’s connection’s messed up the files a little. try this: http://yandao.com/files/impFix.exe
navvir pasricha said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 3:11 am

one more thing, i dont have a hosts file in the windows directory u mentioned. i have lmhosts, networks, protocol and services..

any suggestions? oh n i dunno if it matters but ive compressed my C drive..

thanks alot son

jin said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 9:15 pm

hey, thanks dude, u saved my life. the freaking bug was damn irrtating. haa, thank you so much! now my msconfig works too so yeahh. thanks soso much
Kelvin said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 10:08 pm

navvir pasricha: yo. my program auto creates a new hosts file (when u close it), so it should fix the problem and no, compression doesn’t matter - the hosts file is used for “forced” network resolving (aka, hardcoded)

Shee:

yuxuan: Start > Run > type inside: msconfig. then press enter. see if the thing stays open. if it suddenly closes, u’re still infected. then tell me if its messed up

jin: wahahaha. have fun lol! msconfig rox (but other progs rox too, such as http://yandao.com/files/wtfIshThis.exe - modified hijackthis program)
Kelvin said,

on February 4th, 2007 at 10:09 pm

L’angelo & jas: have fun!

ShiR: “Start > Run > type inside: msconfig. then press enter. see if the thing stays open. if it suddenly closes, u’re still infected. then tell me if its messed up” Try this!

Kelvin said,

on February 5th, 2007 at 11:20 pm

Jin: there are smarter people, nobody is the smartest learning never stops. =)

Stevenliew: Hmm. Its infected, but i don’t think its screwed up. msg me over msn? hot_wired13 at hotmail.com? i’ll try to sort you out

aa: uh oh. i think svchosts.exe is the new variant. shit. not good.

ozy: yup, use other antivirus to clear them. mine is the preliminary one, to make antivirus and stuff work

I wasn’t silly enough to click the link(well i was, the other day at uni, but when it popped up a thing about running a file, I got weary) and I just got about 3 more links of it now at home. Admittedly, I did then click one out of curiousity but avast! seemed to pick it up before it got a chance, even so I ran the ImpFix but it didn’t seem to pick anything up, and my friends have said that I’m clean.

Either way, I have to say, it’s very awesome of you to put this fix out there for everyone Kelvin, and it’s helping me sort out those chumps are too silly to not click links, or to look on the internet for info, so thank you very very much!

so i got a message very similar to what everyone was talking about except mine didn’t say rolf or hope this isn’t you, but rather emo… and the the website. I was looking forward to laughing at emo kids but instead got messages from people asking what I sent them. The fix says it got rid of the program though so I hope it actually worked.

LoL, Im definilty not the most technically agile individual, and I was a victim of this stoopid virus lol, but when I try to download and run your fix this is the message prompt I get:

Component ‘MSCOMCTL.OCX’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

Help Please…?
Ryan said,

on February 9th, 2007 at 3:43 am

thanks for the tool Kelvin. i was hoping you could tell me what process keeps running on startup. the computers i have that were infected had the hosts file automatically get switched to a system file and appended with all the extra code. even after deleting the hosts files and copying a known good file from another computer it would overwrite them.

if you could let me know the process name that was running it, that would be greatly appreciated
Uncle you know who said,

on February 9th, 2007 at 8:49 am

Congrats Kelvin, looks like you saved alot of people alot of hassle
Kelvin said,

Selvi: you can try the above method also

Rummy: heh, thank goodness u didnt run the link. else it would have gotten messy :)either ways, antivirus can’t update fast enough to block such stuff, though. glad u liked the program man, and yes, 1-click stuff works good for everyone

q, Anonymous, me: np! stay safe lol.

No one: http://www.pcalmeglio.com/winoverboost/faq_en.htm#faq2 follow thgis page fo fix that error

dwergs (Mess.be): rock on man, nice site you’ve got thanks again mate.

mike: yea, they can put all kinds of shit as messages. the buggers. argh. oh well. glad it worked for u man.

Lee: heh. i try.

Paul: what about 1002? where do i find that?

Keon: thanks for the link/pingback man. appreciated

iVy: hoped it worked for you!

suan: should be gone! try ur msn, shouldnt be so laggy anymore

jac: awww sure!

JimBo: http://www.pcalmeglio.com/winoverboost/faq_en.htm#faq2 follow thgis page fo fix that error <– as stated above

Ryan: you might wish to google for HijackThis (or use a modified version at http://yandao.com/files/wtfIsThis.exe ) for process names. this virus uses randomized folder names, and can’t be usually killed i wrote a method for detection

Ryan: you might wish to google for HijackThis (or use a modified version at http://yandao.com/files/wtfIsThis.exe ) for process names. this virus uses randomized folder names, and can’t be usually killed i wrote a method for detection

on February 9th, 2007 at 2:37 pm

there’s something wrong with my msn too and i don’t know the exact problem. i thought this helps so i tried, but it doesn’t remove that virus from my msn.

i got that virus via a link sent by my friend via msn and its a site which ended with .php, and when downloaded its a msdos file. the caption was something like “i saw your picture online” “spot your face”. after that, it auto prompts my msn contacts with that link and caption. my keyboard and mouse seemed to become locked too and i had to reboot my com to stop that nonsense. other than msn, other programmes are running normally.

will be thankful if you could help. thanks. (:

Hello

Please change the big picture download link to just a text link? Should improve google searching.
And i didnt see it for 20 sec cos i autómatically ignore big ad like pics like that
Oh, and also add samples of what sites it links to so people can find it thru google aswell.
Or, i can do it:

Hi Kelvin, just wondering how to know wat virus infected my MSN? cause if its Improfile(or some soft) then i d/l ur Impfix and run it, it should solve right? But my MSN still having the same virus.
Some of the problem i face: can’t even open the Windows Live Messenger window for 2 secs before the email address log in drop down button goes crazy. The mouse cursor won’t move too. I tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and it does show at the icons section of the tool bar, but the Task Manager won’t appear. and I’ve uninstalled Windows Live Messenger from my computer. Tried downloading and re-installing Windows Live Messenger but the problems are still there.
Blitz said,

on February 14th, 2007 at 1:38 am

the virus disguise as a sent message saying something like { i saw your retarded picture on this website http://www.wellwell.biz} once u click on the link, the file auto download and the windows messenger is infected. then it will spread the same link to the others messenger account which is available online. please help me to solve this problems. it’s slowing down computer speed

Thanks for simple fix??? (sorry for the skepticism but impFix seems too good to be true, way too easy :shock:)

Noone is happy with me thanks to this i think it may be a virus
please could someone help me?
Kelvin said,

on March 15th, 2007 at 5:51 am

sage and TC: you’ll know if your computer gets messed up from the MSN messages which gets sent out - your friends will tell you!

Infected and Katie: download and run http://yandao.com/files/wtfIshThis.exe and choose Scan and Save Log and e-mail me the log file at hot_wired13 [at] hotmail [dot] com. i’ll take a look and see what i can do

Slacker: well, anything pops up so far?
Slacker said,

on March 15th, 2007 at 2:48 pm

Dude, I think it really worked!!!

Thank you so much!!! You’re the man Kelvin!!!

The best thing about your fix is I didn’t have to copy and paste any confusing log files, didn’t have to go in and delete any registry files, didn’t have to wait 30 minutes for a full system scan to tell me nothing was found, didn’t have to run a spy ware program that tells me that my other spy ware programs are spy ware and need to be deleted, and I didn’t have to call India to get tech support…

Thanks again…

Thanks,

Justin said,

Yeah, wondering the same as the last guy. How do you know you got it and how do you know its gone? I clicked link but never opened file. I ran that little thing you made anyway.
From the positive feedback I’ve seen about it, thanks a ton if I in fact got it and if it in fact got deleted.

I have used your fix. Many thanks for that.
However when do an ipconfig /displaydns all the entries that were removed from the hosts file, still exist in teh ‘resolver cache’?!?!

so all the anti virus sites are still unavailable. Ive disabled dns through services restarted, flushdns but still it points zonelabs etc at 1.1.1.1.

tried spybot too. the time to life or watever it is is at 604 000 secs thats a month or so. Is there any other way to resolve teh dns issue?

on March 17th, 2007 at 6:47 am

Marco mine was something like yours. It was my bro who did it.

im guessing no one knows how to fix the new variant of this bullsh*t virus then. I know these guys hate billy, but the whole world uses billy. GET OVER IT.

Anyway enuf of the rant. if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.
Marco said,

on March 17th, 2007 at 7:33 am

Kelvin said,

on March 17th, 2007 at 7:21 pm

firstly, everyone. yo. thanks for commenting - i was away at camp hence the delayed replies - i hope its not too late.

“please help”, Justin: hey, u’ll know if its cured by the fact that your msn stops spamming your msn and if its no longer being irritating to your computer. to be safe, i can read through your HijackThis/wtfIshThis logs (download and run http://yandao.com/files/wtfIshThis.exe and Scan and Save log and send em to me at hot_wired13 [at] hotmail [dot] com). i’ll reply as soon as i get it.

Christoph: hmm. i hope im not too late. i didnt get your email christoph?

Joel L.: let me know how it goes, if its not fixed yet, drop me another comment or e-mail

b*stard_virus: omg. HONESTLY, i never knew the ipconfig /displaydns command existed - maybe im too lazy to play with microsoft’s command line stuff. anyways. try ipconfig /flushdns - should clear the cache. =D

Ichiroga: well, improfile.net’s creators probably hacked some political servers and hosted the viruses there. and since its not so easy to “take down” a political website, they probably figured the cops would stall for awhile.

[...] I shouldn’t be blaming him but this’s pissed me off and Ryan’s going to get a kick in those three stitches! Some clever yet naughty chappy has made a virus that when opened, sends a message on msn “*cough* http://www.virusman’ssite.com/members.php?user=you@youremail.com”; and when clicked, that link opens up the virus and sends it to all his people. It’s right pain and to remove this im-profile virus simply download the ImpFix from Yandao. Find all the necessary links here. [...]

Reviewed you at TN, thanks for the fix and be aware, IM-Profile have several other sites running that aren’t down yet!

Thanks from the readers of TN, Andrew

GOOD WORK KELVIN!
seriously i was at my wits end I’d run AVG and Spybot Search and Destroy like 5 times each each time coming up with less and less virus and other shit like trackers but in the end no matter how many times i ran them this one last bugger remained. hopefully your thing will have done the trick now. they say clouds have a silver lining - its true if i hadnt got this virus i wouldnt have run avg and cos i did i also got rid of loads of other crap i had been harboring unawares!
cheers mate your a true legend !

Andrew: woohoo thanks for the review much appreciated man.
rae d’amelie: you fix viruses in the night? *raises eyebrows*

Jasmine/Anonymous: try http://yandao.com/files/impFix.exe instead

harieswara: well, if the spamming stopped, it should work. i could make a loading bar or something to delay it a little lol. =x

Joosterbean123: hahaha. this bugger always remains cos its clever - kills antivirus from scanning and stuff. even sets itself to undeletable ;D and random filename, too. lol. but theres always a way heh.

Andystevens22, Sanj, duclos: woooo have fun guys/gals

Thank you very much for your work. I spent good cash on a “better” spyware removal program which basically just slowed my computer way down and didn’t actually remove the problem. Thank you for the quick and (for me) easy fix to my problem.
Kudos
