How to remove Flash.10.exe and Macromedia.10.exe virus

This is quite a lame virus but anyway still many computers still infected with this virus. So I will write a tutorial to help people to remove this pest.

Characteristics

As usual, this virus will disable your Registry editor, search and folder option because to keep it hidden. But, this virus will not disable your task manager. Why? Because this is a trap. When you open your task manager and found flash10.exe in the process list, dont end the process yet because by doing it, your computer will shutdown.So what we need to do is just following this step.

Step 1 - Enable registry editor and folder option

Download Washer here. Enable back your registry editor and folder options by using washer.

- If the virus attacked your computer, there will be a check at the Disable Regedit, Hide Find and Hide Folder Option check button.
- Leave the check button and straightaway click the repair registry button and in just a few second, you can access back your registry, search and folder options.
- If this doesn't work, try it again or ask someone to help you.

Step 2 - Remove the virus link in registry

First open the registry editor by Start > Run and type regedit and press enter. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentUser\Run and delete the WindowsMSN key at the right hand-side.

Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache\ and delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Flash.10.exe key at right hand side.

Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\
CurrentVersion\Windows\ and delete the load key at the right.

Then, go to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2000478354-2025429265-839522115-1003\
Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

and delete the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Flash.10.exe

and last go to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2000478354-2025429265-839522115-1003\
Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\
and delete load key.

If your are tired to find the key, just press F3 and typed flash.10 and press again F3 to keep search.

After that, restart your computer.


Step 3 - delete the virus file

After restart your computer, make sure the virus is not run anymore. Open your task manager and if Flash.10 and Macromedia.10 is not in the process list, it is safe for you to delete the virus file. If not, repeat step 2.

Before delete the virus, you need to configure your Folder Options first. Open My Computer, click Tools menu and choose Folder Options. If Folder Options did not appear, repeat step 1.

Now Change the setting as my folder options on the picture below. Changes are on Show hidden file, Hide protected operating system file and Hide extension for known files. Click Ok.

Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ and delete Macromedia.10.exe

Now, open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\ and delete file MSN.msn. The virus try to spoof by using MSN logo and name.

Then, go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\ . Right Click, choose Arrange Icon By > Modified. Then scroll to the last row and try to find Flash.10.exe, cmd.com, dxdiag.com, JambanMu.com, msconfig.com, ping.com and regedit.com. Delete the file. Remember, just delete the listed file only!!

Then, delete the virus in your USB drive by referring here. Delete only Flash Jokes.exe, Autorun.inf, Flash.10.Setup.exe and Scanner.exe

Now restart your computer. Hopefully your computer will be okay.

Bad day

Today, i'm surfing websites. Suddenly appear a message that told me, updates for my free AVG antispyware were completed. I thought it was same as everytime i'm update, but today is different. After the message, i heard a sound and i realize that my profile are fully deleted. There are no more Quick Luanch toolbar, no shorcut in my desktop, and no profile for my Mozilla Firefox. Very bad day because i really forget to save my profile and my restore was turned off. That a big lesson for me to always update my profile.

Change Background of the folder

As Windows XP Home/Pro was released, many have realized that Microsoft had removed our ability to change wallpaper of our folders! Shortly after we realized the trouble on our machines, we got to work on a solution. We’ve found that Microsoft™ did not remove the ability to change the background and text color but instead hide the interface.

Now, it is somewhat simple for anyone to add wallpaper to a Windows XP folder.


1) Open notepad

2) Type in the text below
[{BE0981 40-A513-11D0-A3 A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image ="C:\your picture location.jpg"
IconArea_Text= 0x00FFFFFF

3) Save file as desktop.ini
Save as type : All Files

4) Copy the desktop.ini file you just created, and
paste into the folder you want the background to
be change

5) Go to START --> RUN..

6) Type Attrib s "C:\Location of your folder"
Click OK

7) Open your folder and the picture should be set by now.

Virus Washer Guide

I always talk about a tool named Washer in my previous post, but I never tell how to use it. And today I'll briefly tell you how to use it. Lets start with the first function.

Ultimate Washer is able to detects worms / viruses on your computer, with configuration to detects polymorphic worms

Ultimate Washer will searche for TRUE duplicate files using byte comparation method ensuring high level accuracy that you can configure manually in the range between 95% - 100%.

STOP wasting your hard drive space of duplicate files in multiple paths. Ultimate Washer let you find duplicate in Hard drive, Floopy disk, Flash disk, CDROM, DVD, Network drives, etc.

Ultimate washer can be used widely on many condition and you can also use this software to remove almost all worms in your computer easily. And you can tweak your computer's settings in a single click. Credited: www.softpedia.com

Scan

This is the function for scanning sample file and detect whether there is any file with the same signature with the file. First we need to load the sample file, for example we are loading virusmawar.js and the software will search throughout our pc for the similar file and we can directly delete the files. We also can choose which drive we want to scan by roll over Drives label.

Startup

This function will list down all software that automatically run everytime you boot your computer. Usually virus will make this as one of their objectives (make the virus run every boot). But this tools did not provide deletion on these keys but you need to manually open your registry and delete the keys if it is suspicious.

Registry

This part will thick the registry that has been changed by a virus, for example, if your task manager is disabled by the virus, the Disable Task Manager will right. You just click the Repair Registry button and your registry will be back to normal.

Processes

This is the part where it has the same functionality with the Task Manager provided by Windows. But if your task manager is disabled by virus, it is the alternative ways.

Thats all the functionality.Thanks to mr cool_entarto for creating such a nice tools.

Now i removed the infected washer and replaced it with new one.. thanks for comments.. washer download
