Hello..im a foolish human..a IM popped up from my friend on AIM and said "NEWS PICS FROM THE BEACH http://home.comcast....ey/pictures.com !!!!" and she just came back from vacation so I thought they really were her pics. WELL NO, its some stupid virus where it will automatically send it to everyone on my buddylist and then whenever I go idle or put an away message up it puts its own away message up saying that message from above. So if anyone has any idea how I can get rid of this thing, please IM me on aim "vanitymasquerade" or just let me know on here i guess..im not too good at this forum thingy or w/e haha. THanks.

Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go! I'm kool808 and I will be helping you today.

Please download Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 and Ad-Aware 1.06.
Follow all the instructions on this website to run a scan with both of these softwares.
Please Download CoolWebShredder , Extract it & run the program. Click the Check for Updates, download if there is available. Click Fix ->.
Download and install Cleanup, then run.

Even the best antispyware programs are only able to remove about 70% of infections. Also, the line between spyware and trojans is getting blurred. You can never be too careful with these, I recommend at least one online scan.

Now, REBOOT in Normal Mode and have an On-line scan at this sites: Trend Micro or Panda Scan or BitDefender.

REBOOT again.
