Hey there.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. The other day I got an IM from one of my friends about pictures of a computer they wanted and sent me a zip file. The when I open it, nothing happens. Then the next thing I know I get IMs left and right saying "I can't open the picture" or "Yeah that's a virus" or "You have a homepage? Why do you have pictures of me?" and so on.

So it's about this time that I say "Aww hell! I got a virus!" Now usually I scan Norton and nip the bugger in the bud, but not this time. Oh no. I tried spyware removers, uninstalling and re-installing and the thing won't go away.

I'm probably not the first person to ask about this, but how the junk to I get rid of this thing?

Please submit a sample of the virus to virus-trapper@msgpluszone.com if you still have the original file...ill take a look at it and help you fix it up and git R done.


Unfortunatly I don't have the file that the virus was held in. I deleted it, but I'm still having people on my contacts getting bombarded with the same message thate duped me.
