I had a similar one where a msg arrived from a mate " check out my new photos "
i downloaded it and then opened it and dbl clicked it.
Hes a photographer so its not unusual
just as I did it, it hit me it was a virus.
So my machine started doing the same to everyone on my contacts, offering them pics etc, so that it could pass itself on.
Symantec couldnt get it, lodas of things couldnt remove it. However AVG free edition did.
maybe that will work for u
