If you are an AOL user this applies to you. If you ever happen to run upon a program called SoFunny.exe DO NOT OPEN IT! This program will send out your password to the following disabled mail account:

If you have already run this program, don't feel bad all will be good! I will help you fix it :-)

If you have already opened it you should have seen a message like the one to the right.
Upon opening this file "SOFUNNY.exe" a file was created named "msdos423.exe" that sends your password out. Now Lets tell you how to clean it out!

For starters search for the following files on your computer: SOFUNNY.exe, msdos423.exe, and Love.exe. If found delete next using MSCONFIG. Under the Startup tab search for msdos423.exe and uncheck it.

This virus also exists under the name microsoft420.exe.

WARNING: BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY!!!

Next using Regedit locate:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run

You will find the "msdos423" value in the right pane, delete it.
As a final step run your Anti-Virus again just to be safe.
That should take care of the SoFunny Worm.
