Has anybody heard or been affected with this virus on msn that sends a file which accepts automatically which then sends to every contact on your list which then sends to every contact on theres?
I've researched about it on the internet and apparently its not just me, its been going on around the world. Some of the file names include: Choke.exe, Funner.exe but mine was called Funny Pic and it was a .bmp file.
Do anyone of you guys know about this and how to get rid of it? Any help is greatly appreciated because this is really getting fu*king annoying.

Theres only one way I know to get rid of it-Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and do an online virus scan. Its no good trying to scan with virus software installed on your computer cos it will close them down or stop them from opening. Delete the files on trend micro and pm me and ill give you the FixsSerflog program

Adaware wouldnt know what to do with the trojan he has.Its great for adware and spyware etc but this one wont let you run anything installed on your hard drive.

Get Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG Anti Virus and run a registry scan. Any more information you need, PM me and I will take you through what you need to do.

Thanks for the help you guys, but I've already ran a virus check with Norton and me thinks all the problems are gone now.

I had a virus a few weeks back and spent all bloody day trying to sort it out with Norton, Adaware, Microsoft online help etc
But all to no avail 
Then I went to the doctors and he gave me antibiotics which cleared it up just nicely
