How to get rid of so7.exe / x3.exe virus

As for some people who don't know, Any file that install and excute itself without your permission is a virus.

so7.exe and x3.exe virus are Trojan viruses that copies itself onto your computer and will run in the background everytime you log online. Though I don't know what exactly what's it doing there in your background but the common symptom is that both ( or maybe one of them ) will appear on your screen and would blink a split second.

Here's how you can get rid of that crap manually:

close all open programs (keep this instructions open of course)

Ctrl + Alt+ Delete (Task Manager)

Stop the so7.exe running process (if seen)

Now you can go to C:\documents&settings\username\
and delete any file with so7.exe, x3.exe, db6.exe.

Then Go to Start> Run> Type in MSCONFIG > enter

In the "Start Up" tab, uncheck the so7.exe to prevent it to copy itself next bootup time.

Don't forget to "empty" your recycle bin before quitting.

Now here's the final step:

Go to Start> Run> REGEDIT> enter

In the registry page, press CTRL+F and find so7.exe, x3.exe, db6.exe (one at a time of course) and delete entry containing any of them.

Now you can restart.

Have a wonderful trojan-free day!
