How To Get Rid of “Orkut is Banned you Fool…” Virus [ Readers Question #5 ]
Rajesh Asked
I wanted to ask whether Orkut and Youtube are banned in India because I get a message saying “Orkut/Youtube is banned you fool. Administrator didn’t write this script, Guess who” and immediately the browser closes.
Solution
Hi Rajesh,
Nope definitely not banned in India though we heard sometimes back that it was banned in Pakistan. So getting down to your question.
This problem is outcome of virus on your system, it generally spreads via the USB drive, so do format your USB drive as well, and after removal of virus its recommended to run a full system scan as well.
Removal Steps are as follows
- Pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del, open the Task Manager and go to the tab “Process”
- Locate svchost.exe under the image name. There will be many processes by that name but look for the ones which have your username under the username. Just kill these processes by pressing Del key. Only kill those which have your username under the username and leave the rest
- Open the run command and type C:\heap41a and press enter. This is a hidden folder. Delete all the contents of this folder
- Open the registry by typing regedit in the run box
- Search for heap41a in the registry by using the find command
- You will get something like this “[winlogon] C:\heap41a\svchost.exe C:\heap(some number)\std.txt“. Just delete the entries by pressing the del key
- Close the registry editor
We found it at some Yahoo Answers Thread which you can read here
