IMG-XXXX.zip on MSN - WATCH OUT! - Backdoor Trojan!

NEVER accept a file with a name like IMG-XXXX.zip on MSN!
its a trojan (sth like virus) (backdoor) which disables (afaik) your firewall, windows updates and your antivirus program and maybe some other stuff too.
it also spreads itself on MSN.

so if you have the virus, you begin to send files with a name like IMG-0175.zip to your contacts.
THESE ARE NOT PICTURES!
it usually comes with a text like this:

wanna see the pics from my vacation? :>
wow! look at this old picture i found
hey did i ever show you this picture of me?
haha you should make this your default pic on myspace or something
hey i'm going to add this picture of us to my weblog
lol remember when you used to have your hair like this
hey i'm gonna put this picture of us on my myspace

its a .zip-archive which contains a virus file.
the virus file looks like an image too:
e.g.: "IMG-0175 www.photoupload.com"
but in this case, .com isnt part of the website adresse, its a file extension for an executable file, in this case a virus!

so dont even accept this file, cause even if you just open the archive, not the .com file, you get adware or sth. i think...

however, if you already got it and got some computer skills, go to this website and try if you can remove it ( i dont give a warranty that this works!):

Ah that makes sense, one of my friends was sending me this IMAGE.ZIP file over and over again... I didn't accept it though
Thanks for the heads up!

Sure it was your friend?XD

ye 1-2 of my friends got it so they were keep annoying me with that every few... ofc they didnt know but i told them it was a virus/trojan or something... they tried a lot of stuff to gety rid of it but they ended up format
ah well i had blocked them till they found teh solutioin cuz iits really irritating having a pop-up window every few time on msn...

Yeah it was my friends, but they didn't know it was happening, even when I was talking to them

Thanks for the heads-up, mate. I already knew about this crap, though.

Thanks for telling us

i already knew this, when one of my friends was sendin' it to me i saw that that of course wasnt his/hers style to talk nor right language so i was like wtf
