I hate Mozilla Virus :: w32.USBWorm

I was asked by my friend that he is the only user in his computer, his account is having administrative rights, but he is not able to open Orkut, and it says Orkut is banned. Another friend had told that he is not able to use Mozilla Firefox and it asks him to use Internet Explorer. I just told it must be some virus, but really didn't care much about that. But none of the antivirus software could remove detect or remove this malware.

My friend had given me a pen drive. I remembered it while browsing net on Firefox. When I put that in my PC and double clicked, it didn't open. I knew at once: I had activated a virus. But I didn't have any idea about the kind of virus that might have come to my PC, until I switched back to Firefox. Immediately a message box was displayed: I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE... with title as USE INTERNET EXPLORER U DOPE. I just remembered the experiences of my friends. I tried to locate the virus by running the Task Manager. But there were no suspicious entries there. I had to bow the owner of the virus. I used Internet Explorer to search about it. The first entry in Google took me to the Mozilla Forum page, and after going through some pages, I came to know that the same virus also displayed another message when you opened Orkut. Orkut is banned you fool, The administrators didnt write this program guess who did?? MUHAHAHA!! with title ORKUT IS BANNED. Well, a similar message was displayed for YouTube also.
It seems that they have named this malware as w32.USBWorm and according my friend, Avast is able to detect and remove it. I hope the other antivirus software will also be able to remove it soon.

Else follow the steps given below and get rid of it..
So I went through all the posts, and finally found a solution given here:
  1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the processes tab
  2. Look for svchost.exe under the image name. There will be many but look for the ones which have your username under the username
  3. Press DEL to kill these files. It will give you a warning, Press Yes
  4. Repeat for more svchost.exe files with your username and repeat. Do not kill svchost.exe with system, local service or network service!
  5. Now open My Computer
  6. In the address bar, type C:\heap41a and press enter. It is a hidden folder, and is not visible by default.
  7. Delete all the files here
  8. Now go to Start --> Run and type Regedit
  9. Go to the menu Edit --> Find
  10. Type "heap41a" here and press enter. You will get something like this "[winlogon] C:\heap41a\svchost.exe C:\heap(some number)\std.txt"
  11. Select that and Press DEL. It will ask "Are you sure you wanna delete this value", click Yes
  12. Now close the registry editor.
Now the virus is gone. But be sure to delete the autorun.inf file and any folder whose name ends with .exe in the pen drive.

How to set Tomcat 7 source level to Java 7? Avoid "Resource specification not allowed here for source level below 1.7" error

I have been facing problem where whenever I was accessing jsp page which were using some Java 7 specific features, the compilation of such JSP pages use to fail with following error: Resource specification not allowed here for source level below 1.7 To fix this I googled for hours and set up the JDK home correctly on my catalina.sh with env.sh to point to jdk7. But this never solved my problem. Finally today I hit the gold while reading the apache tomcat jasper  documentation . The JSP compiler had to be set to use 1.7 as target and source version. To do this we need to add two extra init-params in the conf/web.xml file in the tomcat home.  The JSP servlet configuration should have      <servlet>         <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>         <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>         <init-param>     ...

I would like to get the facts straight over here before we get more offended reading the headlines of all the major Indian bulletins. Lets breakdown this incident: This is an allegation.
