  • 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

        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
