Can you quarantine it? I dunno if you cant delete. What type of antivirus do you ahve and is it updated? I have norton and it seems like it deletes most of them and quarantines some.

norton 07, updated a few days ago.

cant quarantine, nor delete. but i think its gone now, i called a guy from vancouveraccords.com and he gave me a walk thru of how to solve the problem. so far my computer is working fine again.

so keep a heads up people! you get a message saying is this a pic of you dont click it!

Thats gone around aim for a while. Moral of the story is check the link before you click anything.

yea, it was on aim a while back. everyone and their moms were getting it. I got random IM's with some link. Luckily, i never clicked any of them.

anyways, what kind of file is it?

download it to desktop.. run it.. click scan only.. scan.. wait for it to finish.. click config.. check the box that says mark everything to be fixed after scan.. click ok.. close everything.. rerun it.. click scan only.. let it scan.. wait for it to finish.. everything will be checked.. click fix all checked..

and ur done..

be carefull with what you delete. go through everything in the log it gives you to make sure its not something you need.

if you're not sure, post the log on here.

I've gotten those messages before, never clicked on them though since I knew they were a virus. On your scanning program does it give a file path to where it's located? You might have to manually delete the files.

It's on Yahoo too I got a message from my wifes yahoo name that she NEVER uses and I knew she didnt send it and I knew she dont have a yahoo breifecase for photos so I just deleted it. Not to mention she recived the same message FROM HERSELF
