The file asks you to open a picture and see if its a picture of you AFAIK and has your email address in it too.
DONT CLICK ON THE LINK !!!
It opens a file and loads a trojan into your MSN which is causing some serious problems and is forwarding itself to everyone in the address book :hopeless:
Uses up a lot of bandwidth and is a right pest everytime someone new gets infected……
The only things that pick it up so far are AdAware and XSoftSpy

Yes I have come across this already, haven’t I lilmstrixta!!! 😉
yes lol bloody thing how annoying was that lol
Thanks for the heads up Raj.
Not going to let it catch me out this time >.<
Did you pass it on lilmstrixta? hehe
no i actually warned people unlike some idiots i know
i ran avg like 20 times to clean my laptop not seen it since need to take it to my uncles shop really for him to check it
With AVG if you turn off the system restore and then run AVG. After that clear the vault [delete the contents]
Run AVG again and check to be sure but that should be it 😉
Even though i was warned about it i still clicked the link, thankfully my antivirus stopped anything happening….
haha like half my contact list is annoyin half of them i dont even know been like that for a few years like :you_crazy
Ditto. Good old McCafee saved the day.:wink:
What I was doing accepting a photo download of a stranger, God only knows.:hopeless:
I can’t believe you clicked it after i warned you not too.
My 10 year old son did that too 😉
Only reason i clicked it was my mate was sending me some photos over msn next time i think i will get people to email them to me lol
