1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select Choke.exe, and press "End Task".
2. Close Messenger. This will simply stop any of your contacts getting the virus.
3. Goto 'Start' then 'Run' and type 'msconfig'. A new window should appear.
4. Click on the tab at the top right that says 'Startup'.
5. Unitick the box next to "Choke.exe" or simlar name.
The virus has now been deactivated!
