Your computer is infected with the W32.USBWorm virus which displayed such messages while opening Orkut and Youtube. Here are a few simple steps which you can follow to remove this virus if this has infected your system too.

Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and go to processes tab

Locate svchost.exe under the image name. There will be many processes by that name but look for the ones which have your username under the username. Just kill these processes by pressing Del key.Only kill those which have your username under the username and leave the rest

Open the run command and type C:\heap41a and press enter. This is a hidden folder. Delete all the contents of this folder

Open the registry by typing regedit in the run box

Search for heap41a in the registry by using the find command

You will get something like this “[winlogon] C:\heap41a\svchost.exe C:\heap(some number)\std.txt“. Just delete the entries by pressing the del key

Close the registry editor

Now the virus will be gone. The virus mainly spreads through USB disks so be sure to delete Autorun.inf file and any folder which has a .exe extension in the pen drive you use. Avast and Nod32 are able to detect it. Even AVG, Norton and macfee failed to detect it.

The above mentioned are not guaranteed to work everytime. In one of my machines, the virus disabled the Task Manager and registry editor also so i was unable to perform the above steps. In such cases, try doing a full system scan with Avast in the boot mode and delete all files which are infected. If a lot of system files get infected, then you would have to format your computer to remove it successfully. The viruse also spreads quicly through Flash drives and Local Area Network so always scan the flash disks in such cases.

With so many viruses being discovered everyday, it becomes difficult to protect your PC completely. The best you can do prevent such things is to use an Antivirus and keep it updated.

Well Ankit , You can temporarily remove this virus by using a simple process.

The steps are :

1) Open Task Manager
2) Click on "Process Tab."
3) You will see "Svchost.exe" with the user name of the computer ( your name)
4 ) Right Click on that and Select "End Process".

You will be able to use Mozilla after that.

But whenever you open your computer you have to do the above mentioned process.

If you want to completely remove it , download a good anti virus and scan your system for virus.

The best anti virus is "Nod32".

Ok i understood the problem. Same kind of things happened to me some times back. It means some virus affected your computer. I will suggest you to format the whole compute not only the mother drive and then install a fresh copy of your os.

it is not the problem of your pc but it is a VIRUS which is causing such thing

this virus generally gets itself loaded in the registry as well and changes the values for this sites when you want to open it

so the best option is RE FORMAT UR HDD and install ur operating system again also first you can run a check with your anti virus s/w but i guess it will not help
