I was chatting with my friend halfway on msn and suddenly he just paste me this link without typing anything. I thought it would be related to what we were talking to ( Computer Hardware Parts ).

So i went on saving and executing it , nothing appeared. Then i went on asking him what was it , his answer was he didn't send me that link. GG virus. Anyone know how to remove it? Thanks

http://img95.[removed].mn/9767789/imgofb.jpg <-- this is the link with the virus sent.

Cheers,
Tensha

Well remove the link from your post...

You don't post virus's on a public forum, that's how they spread...

Download Microsoft Security Essentials to remove it.

You need to let it scan. Stop using the PC for an hour and it'll do it's job.

WLM no longer lets you send anything with the text '.pif' in it and the link goes to an image. If you visit the link, the browser would expect an image with extension "jpg". If it was a renamed file it would just download it because it couldn't display it. Then, if you do open it, it should fail to open as it's file type is associated with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (XP) or the Image Viewer (Vista and 7)

Yeah, well it's a jpg which somehow redirects to a .pif

Can someone PM me the link?
