clean the virux xn1i9x.com

This is a spyware where creates files of the name like h.cmd, xn1i9x.com, ylr.exe, awda2.exe etc and creates an associated autorun.inf file which executes these files. Simply deleting these files along with autorun.inf wont work as they are recreated after some time. This happens because it has created an entry in the startup folder. You need to remove it and once that is done just delete all the malicious files present on each of your drive. They wont be recreated after that.
The startup entry can be present in the various possible location.

Virus in yahoo messenger, automatically sending links- gaigoitanbinh.xlphp.net

EDIT - Running Windows is Safe Mode is pretty easy. First of all, restart your computer. When it’s booting (black screen with / without writings before the Windows XP logo comes up), press F8 button on your desktop. Your computer will stop booting and give you some options like -
Start in Safe Mode
Start in Safe Mode with Networking
Start Windows XP normally etc.
Choose “Start in Safe Mode”. Your computer will start with a black background and with a very hazy display. Open McAfee now and scan your computer. Restart again (without pressing F8) when you are done to start Windows in Normal Mode.

Is your McAfee fully updated? If no, then update it first of all and then run a full system scan. If it still finds nothing, then do an online Panda ActiveScan (it will scan your computer and remove most infections without you having to download anything):

I am sure that McAfee or Panda will get rid of the virus.

Good luck!
:)

The iPhone, that extremely popular gadget built by the Cupertino company Apple, is one of the latest devices threatened by some malicious packages, as Orla Cox of Symantec today warned.

The malicious file comes as a firmware update and is named “iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep”. Its creators described the package “an important system update; install this before updating to the new 1.1.3 firmware”, according to the Symantec official. (more…)
