How can you people beee so retarted??
Read anything and everything your pc tells you.
The message says about a picture.
if you read the download box is says ms-dos
If you dont know what ms-dos is then GOOGLE
Its not a image. Its a powerfull OS (operating system) for all that dont agree click this link.

If your virus checker caught it then your most likly safe. If it didnt then run a virus scan. If it still hasnt found it your virus scanner is shit so get a new one. (I recomend mc afee)

If the virus is Trojan.Vundo then this is a small text from symantec


Trojan.Vundo is a component of an adware program that downloads and displays pop-up advertisements. It is known to be installed by visiting a Web site link contained in a spammed email.

Basicly all this says is it display's pop ups and you get it by clicking on a weblink. Its not servre. Your not going to die because of it.


I hope this helps.


Edit:   dontclick://www.stupidpictures.info/photo13.php (link wont work ut dont try it) Is another variation of the link
If your virus scanner catches it could you post the virus name so i know what it is exactly.

Please don't double post.. http://shoutbox.menthix.net/rules.html


Nobody knows what the virus is called, Nathan got close, but then his laptop "died" :P But, all we do know is it has something to do with Ms-DOS application.. So just look out for anything suspicious
