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

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 😉
