How to remove SDBot Virus

My windows is corrupted due to sdbot virus. The virus comes in mail. I had opened recently some junk mails. This mails have contained threats. On opening I received a virus warning. But after that when I scan with a free antivirus it shows a long list of viruses. I had managed to clean all but except sdbot.exe file. This files is not stopping what is it related to.

Re: How to remove SDBot Virus

Sdbot is a virus that spreads via instant messaging software Microsoft MSN Messenger. It comes in the form of a message containing a file party_jpg.zip allegedly sent by a contact connected. If the file contained in this archive is executed, the virus sends itself to all MSN contacts then opens a backdoor allowing the takeover distance from the infected computer via a specific IRC channel. The alias name of the virus is HEUR / Crypted, SDBot.gen9, SDBot.gen9, W32/MSNFunny.D.worm, etc.

Re: How to remove SDBot Virus

Sdbot virus spreads via the MSN Messenger software and comes in the form of a message apparently sent by a contact connected. In reality, the message is sent by the virus itself, having taken control of instant messaging software from the victim without his knowledge. Like only my last vacation to, if you have the top our band, How do I look in this picture?, lol this is funny, my sister wanted you to look at ca, etc

Re: How to remove SDBot Virus

The messages contains a link to a file party_jpg.zip. The archive itself contains a file, which has the appearance of an Internet address, but is an executable file. If this file is executed, the virus copies itself to the hard drive under the names and locations: C:\Windows\party_jpg.zip C: \ Windows \ party_jpg.zip & C:\Windows\msimn.exe C: \ Windows \ msimn.exe. Sdbot then modifies the registry to run automatically every time you start the computer, sends itself to all contacts in MSN telling recipients that the sender is not present (to dissuade them from checking the veracity of this shipment contact with the question) then opens a back door, putting himself awaiting instructions that allow the takeover of the remote computer by a malicious individual.

Re: How to remove SDBot Virus

If you receive similar messages, because the computer at least one of your contacts is infected, in order to stop receiving the files infected and spread the virus, contact the person identified as sending messages through Messenger or email to inform him that his computer sends viruses so it can carry out disinfection and ask them to contact all of its own contacts, to prevent them not to open files party_jpg.zip received or to disinfect their computer (contacts concerned may seek party_jpg.zip file on their hard drive to see if they are infected).
