I mistakenly clicked on a zip file that was suppose to bea picture yesterday from a friend and when I went to run it, there was know picture. Insstead it keeps sending out the same file to everyone on my friends list.
I ran avg and its not a virus. It seems like its only effecting window live messenger. Can anyone help me solve this problem.

I think this virus has just surfaced in the world like maybe a day or two ago.
I just saw my first invitation to accept the file yesterday. Luckily I didn't know who that person was, so I didn't accept it.
I dont think any spyware program has any remedy for this yet.
I have recieved the same virus, the that goes around to all my friends it's a zip file that says photo album ...... i was stupid enough to open it..... now i cant even use windows live messenger ... any tips on how to get it up and running again ..... i use messenger for work so i hope there is a fix for this virus...... if u need anymore info feel free to email me ...

i've taken windows messenger off as it was trying to send it too everyone on my contact list i would love find out whats going on and try to fix it
please help
The message along with the URL recived on 17th April 2007:
is that you on this photo
http://www.hotandcute.net/photo6.php
The link downloads a file photo6.com
(That was SO stupid of me ><)What i did was do the usual scans. They located the Trojans but didnt stop the pop ups and lack of ability to sign in.
It also prevented me from downloading files.
So I deleted IE (which i never use as Firefox is vastly better) and don't seem to have a problem with the computer, but i'll see if i can use MSN.
The pop up problem always arose in an IE window so its sorted that but i'm not sure the virus is totally gone. I can now download too and am reinstalling a new version of MSN.
MSN is back up and running for me. No problems I don't think.
what i can't work out is that all the big antivirus and spywear just doesn't seem to be shifting it or anything at that matter i would class this as high because it really is causing alot of havoc with pc's it has to be something running hidden somewhere. i to am watching this thread hopefully we will all get help as it seems to be affecting so many people.
