Infected with Downloader-UA.h

Downloader-UA.h

I just dont know how it happened. I was doing a scan and my McAfee says it was in a song I got. Im guessing on MSN as it was in the received files folder.

My laptop was being funny earlier, hency why I did the virus scan. And now I'm really freaked. I never download stuff I doubt for a second, (I've only got stuff like printer software, bluetooth, webcam, google earth and 4oD).

Anyone think its worth completely formatting my PC?

you're overreacting, just do a virus scan lmao..

i was looking at that earlier and i didnt even use p2p stuff, and i've never been on that site ever. god i dunno what to do

[kk.]

P2P can mean msn aswell
All i could suggest is do a system restore to a date before the file was recieved (right click and view properties and looka t he dates)

god i'm an epic fail. im gonna try my best to get my mcafee discs of my dad and just format my pc completely.i've put internet explorer on the highest security mode, and now the ads on hxf wont show.my mcafee says its got it and got rid of it by putting it in quarentine, but what else could be on my system, i mean, it only found that by me doing an actual scan. and god knows what information the creator of that virus has about me, hes probably watching me now and mocking me. i cant change my passwords at school because theres is like well crap, and oh my god im never accepting any files ever on msn. oh my god im such a n00b.
