You might be surprised but these malicious and very annoying scripts originated from Iloilo City. That's why antivirus programs took a while to be able to detect them. They are not exactly viruses. The I LOVE MY PEANUT script which recently started popping up is just a modification of the IMGKULOT.

Here's a solution to your problem (I haven't tried this yet)

it works...thanks!

IMGKULOT from its name itself implies that it's Filipino-made. Now isn't that fantabulous? I wonder if it has already gone out of the country. Haha. At school, where the OS is Linux, it's entirely a useless script. I think we actually opened the file once and it read something about its origin from Iloilo and if found, blah blah blah.

I have heard that that anti-IMGkulot works but prior to that I already have Kaspersky detect the said script. Having a good and updated anti-virus program surely is a must these days.

The problem with anti-virus programs is they only remove the vbs file but not the autorun.inf file. I remove IMGKULOT the hard way using hijackthis and the registry editor. There are new variants today and they are increasingly annoying.

I had downloaded an anti imgkulot from the web. It works!

You just have to delete this virus before some of your programs won't work.

Sin-o may MOST recent version sng kaspersky da? Hehe!
My kaspersky can't detect imgkulot eh. What if my avira ka pagd? Mu na affected ang pagdetect sng kaspersky? ba di xa maxado ka detect?

Tnx.

I think Kaspersky does it all. Don't tell me you haven't tried it yet!?

Before anything else, do you have a valid License Key for your Kaspersky? And what version are you using?

[Gcorneja]

yah.. I have the valid license key. Kaspersky 6.0...

[Nelson]

I see. Mine's 7.0.0.125.

I have but my trial period has expired Kaspersky is sooo expensive but it does a good job if you update it. My free version of Avira Antivir can detect imgkulot and some of its variants. It took a while before their definitions could recognize imgkulot though.

If your antivirus doesn't remove the autorun.inf and imgkulot.reg files, run your registry editor and search for the word "superhidden". Change the 0 value to 1. Then go to Folder Options in Windows Explorer and enable "show hidden files and folder". Then open the root directory of your removable drive and you should be able to easily delete the autorun.inf and .reg file. You might also want to check your Windows system32 folder if the virus saved a copy there. Finally, change back your "superhidden" value to 0 and disable "show hidden files and folder".

Oh, by the way, having Kaspersky and Antivir at the same time will really slow down your computer.

The story behind ilovemypeanut and kewl.exe virus...
There were two guys who are fond of collecting virus scripts. One night, they tried to modify the imgkulot virus. They ate happy peanuts while doing this stuffs to prevent from being sleepy and increase brain performance in the middle of the night. That is why they name it, i love my peanut, and kewl is their code name. They don't mean to harm other computer, it was just an accident that they forgot to zip the codes because they fall asleep, maybe because of peanut shortage.
