Remove Skype Virus dsc027.scr and wndrivsd32.exe
Posted by Chan Kelwin in Interesting Findings, PersonalI have been getting a great number of visitors visiting my technology blog since last night. There are over 1,200 unique visitors the last time I checked the 103bees stats. The increase of visitors is between 8 to 10 times more than the normal traffic that I used to get. Exactly one week ago, I also managed to get this amount of visitors although not the same method was used.
Last week, most of the visitors came in through StumbleUpon (I will blog about this soon — I hope). However, over 50% of visitors found my blog through search engines today. What happened overnight? Did I become an SEO guru in 24 hours? Unfortunately, I did not.
Late last night, my parents were chatting with my sister through Skype and all of a sudden the computer seems to be attacked by virus. The computer was infected when a message was received with a link to the dsc027.scr file. I documented the whole encounter and how I remove the wndrivsd32.exe file and cleaned up all traces of it.
Many others must have been infected with the dsc027.scr file as well because I’ve been getting hits from all around the globe — Taiwan, Italy, Sri Lanka, South Afrika, UK, Norway, Germany, and the list goes on. Not only that, I am in the top 10 list of all keywords related to this Skype virus. In fact, most are in the top 3.
“Business” is good with the spread of this virus. The evil one in me hopes that it doesn’t disappear anytime soon. 
Another part which is more evil wishes for yet another virus to strike. LOL.
