Does anyone know how to delete this annoying piece of crap from their hard drive? it affects the msn messenger service and keeps gettin other ppl to download it. i located the file in the messenger reciaved files but it wouldnt allow me to delete it or rename it. now the bastard has disappeared. i thought that was it but its still annoying the ppl i chat to on msn. its still on the drive somewhere but i dont know where and how to get rid of it. Any help from anyone who has actually had the virus would be greatly appreciated!

it's an autorun program. every time u load up ur PC it starts running
programs cannot be deleted when they're running...soooooooooo
shut it down
to do this, u can find the task manager (method varies depending on the OS you have, ie win2k, NT, ME, XP etc) and then stop a program running that looks a bit weird.... can't remember the name of the .exe but it should stick out like a sore thumb
once you've shut it down, do a search to find it in *every* folder on ur hard drive, cuz it may duplicate to other areas other than ur received files
then delete it <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/redface.gif">)

If your running 98 or Me then click start and run msconfig
this will loet you configure what starts up when you turn the computer on. click the start up tab along the top, then search the list of programs, un tick the box next to the virus. Next time you start up it won't <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
