    Has anyone heard of this? My friends msn account sent it to me and it came as a link saying "is this a picture of you?". I clicked on it and clicked open, not realising it was a .exe. When i seen then black screen i pressed alt+f4 to no avail. I played about with it just to see what it is. Its some sort of program that sends itself to all your msn contacts. Im still not sure what else the program does. Ive come to terms with it as my new pet, or cancer of the PC. :)

    I got rid of it by doing a system restore and manually deleting it. It restarts itself in startup programs very quickly, so i looked for a second instance of it and deleted it too.Virus software and spyware did not detect it. Just curious if anyone else heard of it?
