Here are the directions on how to remove remove the TAGA LIPA ARE! virus.

First thing is to get familiar with the ‘virus’. The ‘virus’ file is FS6519.dll.vbs. It’s a VB Script that does nothing except make a copy of itself in all your drives and change the title of Internet Explorer to “TAGA LIPA ARE!”.

First, configure your folders to show system, OS and hidden files and file extensions. Remove/Delete

C:\Windows\FS6519.dll.vbs

I would suggest using the Shift + Del here.

Second, open

regedit

in the run command. Remove the registry entry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run/FS6519.dll

Then Remove all copies of the file

FS6519.dll.vbs

and

autorun.ini

from all your drives. Again, I suggest using Shift + Del here.

To restore the name of IE to Internet Explorer, change the value of

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/Window Title

from “TAGA LIPA ARE!” to “Internet Explorer” by double clicking the registry entry. And that’s it, the ‘virus’ is gone.(Tip : You can also put your desired name here like your name)

It’s really harmless and if you ask me, it looks something that an attention-seeking-twelve-year-old-with-a-compiler would do. And you, on the other hand, should know better next time.
