Orkut is badly affected by Bom Sabado Worm. It is going to download some undesirable content
I am affected by Bom Sabado, what should i do now ?
No need to delete your orkut account and start a new one. This worm is not stealing your password or changing your profile details.
One way to get rid of this virus is by using the Adblock plus add-on in firefox. Follow the steps below
1. Download and install Adblock plus add-on in your firefox browser. the add-on can be downloaded from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/
2. Click on the ABP button on the tool bar and select preferences.
3. Click Add filter and enter *tptoos.org/* .
Now you can safely login to Orkut. You can remove the communities added by worm.
Alternate Method :
if you are affected and dont want to use firefox addons try the following simple method
1. Go to account Settings in Gmail.
2. Select Accounts and Import
3. Change account settings: Google Account settings
4. In security : Change authorized websites
revoke access from
stapi.snacktools.com — Sign in using your Google account [ Revoke Access ]
and after that remove those 5 communities from your orkut… and don’t forget to change your password..
Personal Advice : Switch to Facebook
Please note that this virus is affecting only those who switched to the new themes. Please restore to the older theme to avoid the damage being caused by the worm.
