O.P. NEW VIRUS - PLEASE READ
ok,
You get a message from your freinds saying: wtf someone has added your pic online at htp://hothotmodels.com/photo13.php (or somehting similiar) and this redirects to a batch file.
Thign is I right clicked it but my mouse screwed up and clicked open and now im fuxored. So im going to find out how to remove it and I'm just warning you as well :)

EDIT: It does malicous things like open random contacts and send a message, open wbpage to reset password etc..

I told you, It will random times open up wlm sign in and open random contacts advertising the quatation up above. It will then pause your mouse and i've been searching pc's and it makes jjj.exe's in different places:
Desktop, Docs and sets/{username}, Program files/MSN Messenger, prefetch etc..
I think  i've got rid of it now :)

I can just inform you that you sent me that link 4 minutes ago. :P

Well, you didn't, I think the virus did. Becauyse it acted virus-ish... 8-)

EDIT: As it still seems to work, I recommend you log off WLM, as some people might actually get the crap.

Generally this has been around for while via different links etc etc,

what happens when you click it?

it would have to install something/download something?

I click on 99% of links i get sent. In fact i click on one on monday from a friend and windows defender picked it up :-)


edit: using my test pc. as my laptop n main pc are used for work :-)

I think you get asked to download something- if you open it, then you're in trouble.
