6.- COPIA el valor de la dirección de memoria.

7.- Ve ahora al directorio HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID. del registro y ahí busca (usa Ctrl+F) el dato de memoria que
copiaste en el paso 6. Si lo encuentras, bórralo. No necesariamente aparecerá.

8.- Ahora ve a c:/windows y busca en ese directorio archivos *.zip, ahí deberás encontrar PictureAlbum2007.zip, bórralo.
ES PROBABLE QUE NO ENCUENTRES ESTE ULTIMO ARCHIVO, NO TE PREOCUPES, sigue con el paso numero 9

today someone sent a zipped picture 2 me ... it's a huge virus...fortunatly i didn't receved it...
the messages under pictures were : " is that ur mamma in the picture ? " and " look @ my boyfriend...isn't he the cutest ?"

Trend Micro's Antivirus worked for mua, you have 30 days trial so download the bugger, install it and run the Scan. After you're done, uninstalled the Antivirus or let it expire in 30 days time.

It's a Trojan actually. It spams whoever on your MSN who's online, you can see glimpses of the lil' CMD popping up now and then.

i also used the system restore and it worked .... i am not sure if the virus is completely removed but it is now inactive.

there is an msn messenger virus/trojan that i receive from my friend. it says "look :-P this man is really funny." it then asks one to download a zip file.
i tried system restore on my friend's comp but it hasnt worked.
i have deleted the zip files from the comp... so the attachment doesnt come but the prompt keeps on happening.
how do i get rid of this prompt/virus to download files?

Try to scan the infected computer using updated antivirus

i get two at the same time, called image46.zip. it says is a funny picture from myspace, then later it sends it saying heis edited it. i almost opened it, until my trusty AVG dived in front of me.

A girl just sent me a file and a message as soon as i logged on - "have you ever see this picture i took of myself?" the file was called "Photo_261.zip" i noticed it was a zip file and thought that was weird an the fact that i never speak to this girl... after reading various threads/websites I realised its a worm virus and i think its wat corrupted my hardrive about a month ago (it didnt cost me shit as it was under warrenty) NEVER accept a message like this ALWAYS ask them about it if they dont answer decline it no matter what it says ---- even if it says NUDEPICOFME.zip ----DONT ACCEPT IT!

how do you get rid of the one that sends a free link to everyone online and logs in and out all by itself? there is a bunch of people who have it and they aren't on the computer but this virus logs in and out on it all by itself

it says and looks like you get free emoticons but you end up with this thing logging in and out for you and sending everyone online this stupid link

@pipes: we have to notify our friends whose PC have been infected and ask them remove the virus..

Having been on the recieving end of the files, not having contracted the sequentially transmitted datagrams, it would be safe to say "do not open any files recieved through MSN", zip or not.

I was a victim who adcidentally click a zip file called "Our Photo Joiner" via MSN Messenger.

I try below steps to cure my pc:-
1) Use ATF Cleaner in SafeMode to clear all temp files
2) Run anti-spyware full scan
3) Run anti-virus full scan

Done!
So far no more IE windows pop-up & pc lack...

Hi. Is there any possible way someone who INTENTIONALLY sent me a picture of someone I know, who did tell me they were sending me a picture could have sent me this virus by accident without knowing because someone sent it to them and they didn’t know and passed it on?

I found a backdoor trojan on my computer and I suspect my friend’s ex-girlfriend (she wasn’t ever even really his “girlfriend” anyway, lol). She and her friend have already hacked his Myspace account (and changed all his login info and refused to give it back to me. he is really mad about it too!) which I was looking after for him with his permission as per his own request, so I know they may have knowledge of how to do this. He says she is obsessed with him and from things she’s said to me, I believe him, so her attacking and spying on my computer isn’t something I would put past her (she showed me a picture of him thru MSN messenger, which now that I think of it, was rather odd to do, so it seems suspicious), but I’m not sure if it’s her that did it, or if she did, if it was by accident, or even if one of my friends sent it to me by accident with pictures they sent (if that can happen?), because I never received anything specifically like what you described “hey, view my new summer pictures”, etc.

Hi there,

my co-workers had similar MSN virus and I get rid of it in this way:

1) go to infected users profile
2) enable hidden files. if you can't see them or dont know how to display them download free commander
3) go to \Application Data\Microsoft and at the and there are two files with different names (evey infected computer has unique names)
4) copy those names into notepad and run taskbar ctrl+shift+esc
5) locate the file in Process tab end kill it (there is only one usually)
6) delete both files
7) go to start-run and type regedit
8) go to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MICROSOFT - WINDOWS - CurrentVersion - Run
and find the file. The path is usually C:\windows\system32\.exe
delete the key, close regedit
9) run free commander and press alt+f7 - that will run search. search in C: drive for those two files (no exe) and delete everything.

VOILA! you dont need to restart your pc...

Got this on my mac.

Hey sandradesousa2006 this site i found is giving away 1 of 3 phones if you pick the right one in the picture, I won an Iphone and it's being shipped to me, hurry and go try it before they give them all away go here    http://doncameron.colzop.com

Have fallen foul of a similar one on my PC which I foolishly opened trusting to be okay from a friend, Kerpersky AV picked it up but not before it hit all my contacts.
Always the case that the message appears when the 'sender' is offline, and that is the key. DO NOT OPEN.

There's a similar bug on Facebook which seems relatively inocuous as it redirects you to another site.

Hate to appear arrogant but best cure-all is to get a mac.
