"Yahoo! - TAGA LIPA ARE!" IE title bar?

This is how my title bar looks like... I only noticed this yesterday (1 day from now) but I don't know what made it become this way... I thought it's a virus or something but I scanned my computer and it's still there. I even upgraded my IE6 to IE7 but it stayed the same. Every site I visit there is this phrase 'TAGA LIPA ARE!' that appears in the IE title bar. Mozilla is not like that... Help! Is this a virus or some trick to retrieve my personal internet information??

Hello im Dragantra the original creator of TAGA LIPA ARE! virus...Its a virus but it gives no harm to your computer. anyway...to delete the virus you need to disable the "Hide Protected Operating System Files" in your Windows Explorer folder options (TOOLS %26gt; FOLDER OPTIONS %26gt; VIEW). Search the file name FS6519.dll.vbs (THE VIRUS) in your hard drive or just to make sure in your My Computer then delete the file. Note: On searching make sure you activated "Search Hidden Files and Folders" on more advance options. If one of "FS6519.dll.vbs" failed to delete run the Task Manager by holding CTRL+ALT+DELETE then on the process area find "WSCRIPT" then end this process, you can now delete the file "FS6519.dll.vbs". Then to get rid of the word "TAGA LIPA ARE!" on your internet Explorer go to your windows registry (START %26gt; RUN - then type regedit)Search the word "TAGA LIPA ARE!" and "FS6519" in the following registry location

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOT\...

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\... EXPLORER\MAIN\Window Title"

right click and delete, never try to rename the window title just delete it.. Your done.!

Note: For best result i recommend to do it in Safe Mode

SORRY FOR INCONVINIENCE.

Some stupid person intentionally edited the IE folder in the registry by adding the string "Window Title" - Taga Lipa Are!. To remove it, follow the steps below:

1. Click start

2. Run "regedit"

3. Click edit

4. Click find, then type "Taga Lipa Are!", then execute.

Computer will search the phrase "Taga Lipa Are! in the registry. When you found it, delete the whole string," Window Title- Taga Lipa Are!". Done. Try opening your browser and it will return to the orginial title "Windows Internet Explorer".

Good Luck.
