Default MSN VIRUS WARNING-<<< itsME88

on MSN Messenger, if you get send a file called itsME88 , DO NOT OPEN IT, it is a virus. It Automatically sends to anyone on your MSN list that is online. Don't know the effects yet, but it can't be good

I got sent it by accident,and opened it as it was off a trusted friend, but obviuosly it was NOT sent by them, it was spam

If any one has info on how to get rid of it, please let me know ASAP

Have a look on CyberTechHelp and see if there's anything about it. If not, register and post a thread in Cyber Safety. I had a virus through MSN a few years ago and I registered on there and asked for help and one of the CyberTech Helpers helped me get rid of it. The viruses sent via MSN are usually the hardest ones to try and remove.

Good Luck....

PS Download and run HijackThis and post the log results in your thread if you decide to post on there, that saves time.
