How to delete the Cool USEP Scandal Computer Virus
If your computer is infected with the cool USEP scandal virus, your default homepage regardless whether you are using firefox or internet explorer directs to redtube.com. Red tube is an adult website and like the funny UST scandal virus, users with infected computers find it difficult to remove or delete the Cool USEP scandal virus.
So how do you get rid of the cool usep scandal PC infection? Here are some tips and recommendations I gathered online:
Option 1: Use System restore.
Jinky doodle used the system restore to remove the cool usep scandal
1. From your computer’s menu options, click programs, accessories, system tools and system restore. Choose a date before your computer got infected by the virus.
2. Press ctrl+alt+delete and delete the cool usep scandal from the infected drive.
Option 2: Use a noob virus removal tool
The tech reports recommends the use of the noob killer anti virus.
Option 3 Use Quicksmash
RC Guzon recommends quicksmash.
1. Download quicksmash and save it to your pc or flash disk.
2. Double click quicksmash
3. Check the checkboxes except “Mark legit logs”
4. Click the smash button.
Note: I have not used any of the options above. Use them at your own risk. For more information and thorough instruction on how you can remove the cool usep scandal, please visit the links I have mentioned above.

Are these Email Messages in Your Inbox?
This week alone, I received more or less 100 spammy messages but thanks to my reliable webmail, 99% of these spam messages landed in my spam folder and not in my inbox. Among the spam messages that I receive this week are as follows:
- Do you want 25000 USD from the government, it is possible from Registered Advisors
This email tells you that that if you are an American citizen over the age of 18, you
may be eligible for some kind of government grant; encourages you to take advantage of their free FREE Government Funding CD.
- Your Title wants to be your loyal fan from FanBox Fan NOREPLY @fanboxnotes.com
It’s funny that the Fanbox site tells it is a Spam-Free Web-based email because Fan box itself is one of the most diligent spammers that I know. Check out “How to Stop Receiving Fanbox Spam” to learn how you can get rid of the fanboxnotes spam.
- Need $$$, Google PayDay software makes it so easy! (see offer for details) from GooglePayDay
This email tells you they are going to show you how to create an automatic cash flow machine by working with Google.
The following are other spam emails sent by spammers. I noticed that most of this emails sell viagra and other pills and tablets online:
- Where are you, I’m frozen!
- We need your presence
- Can’t find you, darling
- Lost my number? )
- Witness some positive changes in your body
- Money so easy you’ll kick yourself
- Work at home positions. Immediate Placement
- Don’t reject my calls!
- Returned mail: Over quota
Why do I receive such an enormous amount of Spam messages? I love free services online and sometimes registering your email to get free graphics and free applications can land you into trouble. If you receive any of these mail messages in your inbox, I suggest you mark them as spam and delete them. You may also find it worthy to install fre antivirus norton in case you accidentally click on these virus/worm containing email messages.

Spam Alert: MSNBC- Breaking News and BBC News
I received three MSNBC Breaking News today in my mailbox although they are already classifed as spam. I must say though that the “news” are quite interesting. Teenagers who receive the email are likely to click the High calorie food banned in canteens link and parents would want to know about the “story” behind Plane crashes into prep school, hundreds of kids killed. Unfortunately though, these series of MSNBC- Breaking News are spam and clicking the links will only result in you downloading harmful software or files.
There is also the BBC News spam that now arrive in the mailbox. This too is a malware email and clicking on the links is not recommended.
Read Beware of the CNN.com daily top ten email to understand why it is not advised to click on any links, even the unsubscribe links from these emails. If you wish not to receive these types of email, you might want to read this post: Unsubscribe from CNN Alerts: Breaking News, MSNBC- Breaking News and BBC News Spam.
