Cure for Love

a free virus detection and repair utility for readers of 
Woody's OFFICE Watch

Cure for Love v1.3 will start downloading automatically, if not, click here.
Cure for Love is a free utility for WOW readers to detect and clear up the 'collateral damage’ from:

  • 'I Love You' virus and variants.
  • 'Melissa' virus and variants. 
  • FireBurn virus.

It will check for presence of the viruses and warn you if they are present. It'll also scan the registry and remove any entries created by the above viruses. You'll see the actions taking place on the screen.

NEW! Cure for Love v1.3 will also offer to make changes to the security settings for Outlook.  You'll be given the option to make each change, revert to the original default value or leave the current settings unchanged.   It also checks for signs of the FireBurn virus and lets you reset the Windows default user if you've been infected.
Version 1.3 now has a Digital Signature so you can be assured that the program is the genuine release from Woody's Watch.  The signature is in the name of Woody's company Pinecliffe International.

    Tens of thousands of WOW readers made use of our 'Bye Melissa' utility 'Cure for Love' is the successor to that popular utility that covers both major types of viruses.

    'Cure for Love' does NOT require the presence of any specific anti-virus software.
    Requires:  Windows 95 / 98 / NT / 2000 or the upcoming Windows ME (beta 3).  
    Free for readers of Woody's OFFICE Watch.

    IMPORTANT : It is NOT a replacement for anti-virus software, you should use such a program and keep it updated regularly. Cure for Love is an additional tool, not a replacement.

    NOTES:

    'A required DLL file MSVBVM60.DLLwas not found'
    You need the Microsoft VB runtime files -- most Windows users will already have them but if you get this error download from Microsoft.  Once installed they will be used by any program that needs them, not just Cure for Love.

    If you do encounter any other problem please email CureForLove@woodyswatch.com with details of your system (version of Office / Word, version of Windows etc). Please make sure you are using the current version as downloaded from this page.
    As soon as we can nail down the problem we'll post an update. Thank you.
