Tips & Warnings
After your computer has rebooted after the fix, run your anti-virus software to make sure everything is fixed, if the software has been updated with the new data pack that includes the UPS virus. If not, you can run Kaspersky (see resource box).
If you have an anti-virus protection, it may not have been updated to catch the virus.
Some users have had success after opening the UPS virus by restoring the computer back to the previous boot. This might not always work.
