Today, Wednesday 23rd January 2008 I received an instant message from someone on my list, It said, "Hey is this your picture? " followed by a link which included mymsnspaces.com and my email address.
When I clicked the link I got a window up, open, save.. so I saved it. My antivirus showed it was ok.
When I opened it, it was a MS-DOS application. I kept getting msn messenger IM windows opening and closing. I tried to delete the file but Windows Vista wouldn't let me.. even as administrator. I couldn't drag n drop it into the recycle bin either.
I searched google and found a solution, I downloaded a file called DrDelete. I ran it, and it said it would deleted when I reboot the pc. I rebooted, it was still there. I ran DD again and it said, file deleted without reboot. I rebooted again to be on the safe side.
I've now emptied my recycle bin. All is ok now.
PLEASE BE AWARE.. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK IF YOU GET AN IM ON MSN MESSENGER THAT STARTS WITH "HEY IS THIS YOUR PICTURE?"
