Posted by Shawn on March 30th, 2005


I have windows XP, and Mcafee Anitvirus 8 or 9, I keep getting a popup
saying Potential Worm Activity Detected. Email Subject: Gift someone you
love with a ROlex ! [morrow] . I stop the email and i get the same thing
again over and over.
HERES THE UPDATE PLEASE HELP!
I cannot find anything in my registry, services, startup, thats reoccuring.
But I have found something here in my
local setting\temp directory These files are reoccuring
tsk.sys*****Which will not delete unless through safe mode
body.dat
mailz.dat
mcme.tmp
McVXXX<--- XXX replaces abunch of different charcters.
I know this worm is preventing me from starting my Outlook-express. I NEED
TO KNOW WHAT IS THIS WORM!!! Mcafee is not detecting it, and spy remover is
not detecting it, Both are up-to-date.

Good guess but Shawn used McAfee Stinger which targets the Netsky and all variants and
Stinger found nothing.
