technical details

When this script runs, it searches for .vbs files that are in all folders in the current path, the Windows Desktop, and in the My Documents and Startup folders. If the .vbs file name does not end with the letter F, the virus tries to append itself to the end of the file. However, due to the bugs in the virus code, VBS.Emby.intd cannot infect any files.

removal instructions

  1. Obtain the most recent virus definitions. There are two ways to do this:
  2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and make sure that NAV is configured to scan all files. For instructions on how to do this, read the document How to configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files.
  3. Run a full system scan.
  4. Delete all files that are detected as VBS.Emby.intd.
