“I Dont hate Mozilla but use IE or Else” virus…
Posted by shreeharshagp on May 16, 2007
Few days back when i tried to open mozilla firefox i got a message “I Dont hate mozilla but use IE or Else”… this was my first encounter with a virus… My antiVirus couldn’t detect it… thats bad.. 😦
My senior Colleague at office Mr. Mohan, he is a person who guides me in all my system related queries. Thanks Mohan. when i said him about this he went through google…. and landed on to a site “mozillaZine” where people discuss about the virus. Thankfully people had already found solution for this virus. Which had blocked my mozilla firefox but IE was accessible. even with IE i was unable to visit orkut.
I heard these days virus are spreading through USBs. So one precaution measure would be to disable the auto run feature in the system. How to do this ? follow the simple steps:
- Click Start -> Run.
- Type RegEdit in the Open text box, then press ENTER.
- In the Registry Editor, locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
- Modify the value of the Autorun to 0 (zero) so that CD-ROMs and Audio CDs do not run and start automatically when inserted.
- Next navigate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
- Modify the value of the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry to 0xb5 value to turn off the AutoRun feature for CD-ROMs by right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun and then click Modify to type B5 in the Value data box. Select Hexadecimal, and then click OK.
- Quit Registry Editor.
- Restart your computer.
After three days of effort i could kill that virus from my system. Thanks to Mohan and members of mozillaZine. The steps to kill the virus is…
- Go to Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
- in that click on Process Tab
- Delete only the svchost.exe of your user name
- type c:\heap41a in you address barof your explorer and you can trace this folder
- Now give a smile… you have done it….

Hello Shree
Thanks for your help…is there any way to add this virus to the anti-virus list…to avoid future attacks.
You have been a relief….

Golhtx said
Hi! nice site!
shreeharshagp said
Hello Lenin,
Nice to hear from you… sorry for the delayed response.
Yes, you can add to the anti-virus list. You can do this by sending an intimation to the anti-virus company that you use.
But it depends on the impact this virus has created… to Anti-Virus company to consider its signature…

Thanks a lot.
Anuroop said
hey thank you very much. my problem is solved but i am not able to delete svchost.exe in c:\heap41a…can u plz help??!!
shreeharshagp said
Hello Anuroop,
Thanks for expressing your views… you needn’t delete all the svchost.exe. You have to delete only those which has your system name as user name. for example if your system name is Jack. then delete the svchost.exe with jack in the user name. there will be other svchost.exe which are system critical. By deleting these your system may get other problems.
Please let me know if i understood your question correctly…

Abhishek said
Hi ShreeHarshaGP,
Thank you very much for this article.
My experience was that I was infected by the same virus. It remained undetected after searching for it using AVG free. I ended up re-installing my OS. I had backedup all my data in one of the drives that I didnt format. After reinstalling the OS, the virus sisnt show for a few days, but then it suddenly appeared today. If not for your article I would be screwed.
Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind after following all the procedures prescribed by you. Should I change any of the settings?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek.
Mahendra said
Thanx alot, I facing problem from a week and now iam very happy with your solution.
shreeharshagp said
Hi Abhishek,
First of all sorry to hear that you need to re-install your OS. Happy that you could knock off the virus….
Nothing preventive measures as such for this virus. Because two days back i was infected by the same virus when i plugged in my friend Kashyap’s Pen drive. As i had mentioned earlier now a days the viruses are spreading through USB. Avoid using others pen drives or your own in cyber cafe…
But if you do also keep a printed copy of the solution to this virus. That may come handy in resolving the same…
If possible try sending this virus to your anti-virus company so that the add this virus signature…
cheers… Enjoy madi…

Thank you very much!!! I dont hate FFox or IE or Opera or Safari or anything else… I hate morons like the author of this virus who waste their own time as well as those of others… If they are as intelligent as they think they are, why don’t they solve the harder problems in computer science. Anyway thank you very very much for giving such simple and clear instructions to eliminate the virus!!!

4. type c:\heap41a in you address barof your explorer and you can trace this folder
saran said
There also appears to be an entry for this virus, in the registry key – winlogon – under Policies -> Explorer -> Run of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Can also be mercilessly removed, i guess.

hello guys,
thanks for the very detailed help. In my case ctrl+alt+del was not showing task manager. Hmmm.. i did wonder, how your steps can be followed now. Got one quick one step solution for all the problems i had for quite some time.
Downloaded ‘Dr cureit’, a free antivirus software, and ran it. thats it,
no more ‘i dont hate…..’ stuff nor any cntrl+alt+del problems 🙂
Hope this cue helps others too….

Ashish said
For those who are still having problems with the hidden files. Check this link
http://www.zooltechnology.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=300&Itemid=76
To summarize – The virus updates the following entry in registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL “CheckedValue” = “00000000”
Set this value to 1. This should sort out the problem of not being able to access hidden files.

manjusha said
the problem is, my administrator has deactivated both Task Manager and RegEdit..
is there any antivirus that can solve this?
Paul said
Hmm, is this virus designed for any specific version of windows, or will it infect any of them? Because Vista doesn’t let anything run as admin without your permission first; would this stop it, or does it not need admin rights.
The other thing is, if you formst your USB drive, surely this would get rid of the virus, otherwise it would be in the system files of your USB drive, meaning the drive is screwed…
-To Paroma:
Those 4KB of files, are most probably system files for the drive.

Its a very good thing that i removed the virus on my PC too..
But here i do want add one more thing..
If you are not able to change the permissions of hidden folder just go to command prompt and navigate to the place where the hidden folder exist and just key in
attrib -s -r -h heap41a /s /d
So that it will change the hidden folder to unhidden..
It works. Try 🙂

Saleel said
Hello all
Here is another solution to get that virus never enter your pc
First type c:\autorun.inf in the address bar.If a file come
goto command prompt(start-run-and type “cmd”)
then type ATTRIB c:\autorun.inf -s -r -h
del c:\autorun.inf
so it delete the virus,but the problem is it comes again when you restart,so we have have to create a empty autorun.inf and make it overwrite proof
copy con c:\autorun.inf
press Ctrl+z and ^Z appears on the screen,then press enter
ATTRIB c:\autorun.inf +s +r +h
So now we have made an empty autorun.inf and its a system file.So the virus cannot paste the autorun.inf,because already one one autorun.inf is there and its overwriteproof
Now don’t restart and do the same for all drives including your flash disk or external hard disk which was connected during the problem.
So that part is clear.
Now goto cmd again and type
ATTRIB c:\heap41a -s -r -h
now goto task manager and there will be many process svchost.Out of that one will be under your username and all other be either network or system and it will have small memory ( 760 kb)
End that process
Now goto my computer-c:/
and the folder heap41a will be visible .Just delete it
Thats it

Superb blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any
message boards that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!

It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you few interesting things or tips. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read more things about it!

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam
remarks? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
