I was just about to start the procedure of formatting but then I was informed about the Heap41a Virus. This crazy virus made me bang out my system. But thanks to narendra after reading my previous post he just informed about heap41a.

More about heap41a:
This virus not only blocked Firefox but also Google sites like Orkut, Youtube & some other too (but not the Google.com). If you open any of these sites in any other browser it closes down the browser & again gives a cheap message. That guy who build this is really very smart but I guess if had used his intelligent brain in good things, he must have made some really helpful softwares.


Cleaning the virus (Destroying heap41a):
The following ten steps will guide you on how to remove heap41a from your system.

  1. Go to c:/heap41a
  2. You will see some files in that folder naming Reproduce.txt, Copy.txt, etc.
  3. Just delete all the files present there in that folder.
  4. Some file may not be deleted as they may be currently running on your system.
  5. Reboot your system & keep pressing F8.
  6. Select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
  7. After logging in you will the command prompt window.
  8. If your default directory shown there is not “C:\”(without inverted commas) then type “cd..”(without inverted commas) & hit enter. Type “cd..”(without inverted commas) two or three times to bring it back to C:\.
  9. Now type this command “del heap41a” (without inverted commas).
  10. Now reboot your system & start the windows normally. Your system is now clean. Enjoy!
