Thanks for the warning, folks.

Based on other people's horror stories, I developed the policy of opening no email unless (1) I know the originator and (2) they let me know a downloadable file is coming. Those 'tag-along' viruses are a pain in the butt... especially for a computer moron such as myself.

Well ive rebooted my computer, and when windows started it was looking for MyPictures (2)(1)(1)(1)(1)(1).exe to run it :|, but i had deleted it. ive run msconfig then to look what happened and i saw that it was over there (in systray i think, not sure), so be careful.

So be careful and dont accept anything even if you know the person, coz its sent automatically..


thanks

So don't go screaming at people who accidentely send it o you
anyhow It appears to auto start when you open windows
or it wants too be sure you remove it from your hard-drive (it's usually under "messenger recieved files" in "my documents")
for those who didn't know

About the MyPicture virus, I found this :

MyPicture.bmp.vbs - VBS.Illen: this combines features of both a virus and a worm, and acts as a trojan dropper. If mIRC is installed on your computer, the virus modifies the c:\mirc\script.ini and c:\mirc\mirc.ini so that the virus tries to send itself to all users in the channels you go to. Read more on

I also found this removal tool, but I don't know if it works (I haven't got the virus ! ):

Hope this helps ...
