How to Remove Surabaya Virus?

Solution

I just got some tricks that might help you remove the symptoms of the virus, though i might not be sure if it will really remove all the virus files. It did work for me though as the symptoms never reappeared. You will need an anti-worm program called "NOOB.KILLER.leerz.exe". It's not a virus, just an anti-worm utility program. If your unsure you can do research on this program file and check it out yourself. This NOOB.KILLER.leerz.exe is one of my trusted anti-virus/anti-worm/anti-virus symptoms program.
Well the procedures (I assume you use WinXP):

• 1. Run NOOB.KILLER.leerz.exe in safe mode and restart/reboot in safe mode. This will remove one of the symptoms of the virus.

• 2. In a window menu, click Tools, click Folder Options, click the tab View, click toggle button Show hidden files and folders, and unclick Hide protected operating system files.
• 3. Hunt the suspected files like the .scr folders, the "Thumbs .db" file in the USB Flash drive, Thumbs.com, etc. The .scr files are actually the RUGGED folder icons which are created by the virus. The actual folders are hidden by the virus and cannot be seen even if you follow step no. 2 without doing no. 1 first.
• 4. Delete the suspected files and folders in the hard disk. (if you are unsure about suspected files, I recommend just deleting the copy folders and the Thumbs .db and Thumbs.com).
