My sister sent the following letter. Seems like I heard something simular a
year or two ago. I told her to delete the e-mail, any advice is
appreciated...Jim Harris
I had a virus alert in my e-mail that said i have a virus called winppr32.exe
in my system ®istary keys. It said to open DOS comand promp
windows(fromStart,Programs>Accessories) and enter the following commonds
:cd"%windir%system"regsvr32/uBHO2.dll regsvr32/uMSNIE.dll then RestartWindows
and I should be able to delete the BH02.DLL & MSNIE,DLL files in the system
folder.(the system folder can be found in the windows folder:It is called
System 32 in XP & just System in 95 & 98. Now I wonder who would send me such a
report- I went to every thing Panda has & tried a few other free scans. Far as
I can see there is no-such virus, but maybe you can tell me what would happen
to a persons computer if they did what this report said to do.
