Hi,

I seem to have caught a virus on my computer, I was chatting with a friend
about pictures we took during the weekend. Then I received a message from her
saying "Foto
http://site.facebooky.net/viewimage.php?=myemailaddress@xxxxxx". I feel
so stupid because I usually never get caught but this time I opened it, and
of course it was a virus.

I am writing on this forum because I can't seem to find any information on
the web about this on official security software site(Symantec, McAffee,...).
I only find information about using a software named MSNfix, but I kinda not
trust it. Did anyone of you ran into this or know the solution for this?



Thanks

Greetings Crowdak,

I haven't seen this one in particular, but the vast majority of these worms work by running
their own process. That said, you can bring up the Task Manager, Processes tab and probably
identify/eliminate it that way.
