Hello everybody,

Today I decided to get rid of some spyware. So I ran Ad-Aware, and it found 63 spyware files. Ok, no problem, but one of them reported a possible virus infection in some “shell open” command in the registry.

So I ran AVG 6.0 Free Edition, and indeed it found a virus, called _JS/Psyme_. I can’t seem to find any info about this one. And I know AVG 6.0 is good at detecting viruses, but not removing them, so I doubt it’ll be able to get rid of it (it’s still scanning now).

Can anyone provide some info about this virus ? And maybe some instructions on how to remove it … thanks 🙂
