The file named 'image13' that is 'a picture of you' or 'a new pic' or something IS A WORM.

DO NOT ACCEPT IT WITHOUT PROPER ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION - PERSONALLY WOULD SUGGEST AVG FREE EDITION:

http://www.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-virus/us/crp/0

BEFORE YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO OPEN IT.

VARIOUS people have been infected with it, and it attempted my system, although I have enough damned protection on it to guard it from the pentagon's hackers it seems, therefore it got OWNED by AVG.

Whenever I opened the file, I got a message similar to this:

'THIS FILE - C:\USERS\REID\DOCUMENTS\MY RECEIVED FILES\IMAGE13.ZIP - IS A WORM... IT IS NOW DELETED.
NO HARM HAS BEEN CAUSED TO YOUR SYSTEM.'

Not that exact message. It also gave me a few options, heal, delete, etc, but you get the picture.

So, therefore, be warned.

For anyone already infected and experiencing trouble, there's an online virus scan too.

Please, for everyone else, do not put the blaim on anyone.
i hate to say this, but image13, is prodominately a porn trojan.
it comes off internet explorer, and into msn messenger, when you have both IE and msn open, in which, it spreads to all contacts online.
it targets internet explorers download capablitys, which are the weakness'.
once sent to a member, it tells you to double click to download, like reguler, and then if you don't double click over like, five seconds, it downloads anyways.
the best thing to do if it pops up, is sign out of the messenger as soon as it is sent.

it also travels through msn user, to msn user.
so, lets say it was sent to me, if my virus protection hadn't stopped it, it would have spread throughout my contacts.
ALSO, in that matter, it changes the name of your nickname, some times, to some random person, and some times, to the last person you messaged.
which is actually, really smart.
so when you decide "don't receive photos from judy"
-a message from jake pops up-
and from there, you would get it again.



any REAL harm, comes after awhile.
its not like, as soon as you get it, your computer crash's..
its not that big of a threat, but it is some thing to be aware of.

It doesn't download anyway. It just sends another.

-_-

You must have MSN plus's auto-accept feature turned on - which is the target of this, I'd bet.

Besides. It's a zip file. 11kb. With PICTURES? 11kb big pictures are... like... maybe 16x16. Icon size - the ones that are in your browser.

Is this the trojan that uses the message: "Is this you in this picture?". If it is then I had to wipe it off of about twelve of my mates computers cos they all opened it from the same person. xD

Also,

Reid would you mind making mine, Aidan?
