Okay we need more information on what happens, do get an error message? Do you have anything installed such as Smiley Central or any other plugins?

Also, what is the exact text that is sent to your contacts, or is it just the link.

for example, some say:

hi
look at this picture of you
<link>

There isn't a virus which sends a picture, it just tries to make the contact think it is a picture so that they will click on it, but really it is a link to download a virus.

Could you please answer the questions posted above as we need more detail to help you.

Also, please don't double post, you can use the edit button on your first post if you wish to add anything.
