Ok, the fix for this is REASONABLY simple if you know anything about using pc’s
Here goes
First, press Alt + ctrl + del, open task manager, click the “processes” tab, find a program that shouldnt be running (if you dont know what should/shouldnt be running there are sites that can tell you)
Now, that will stop the virus BUT not get rid of it.
Next, click start, then “Run” (windows xp, dont know about vista)
type “msconfig” (without the ” of course) and click OK
Click the “StartUp” tab
Again, scroll through the list of ticked files and untick any that should not be running at start up (again, this is some randomly named file like agedjgs.exe that will be in the System32 directory)
Next click the “Services” tab, sort this list by Manufacturer (click the word manufacturer on the top bar in the middle)
Scroll through this list and find a file that has either no manufacturer or a fake one (hopefully u know what you have installed on your pc)
Now, go to the file that you unticked in the startup tab (c:/windows/system32 or where ever) and delete the file, then reboot and it will be fixed

IF you do stuff up anywhere along the way, reboot into safe mode (this stops that msconfig batch from running) then you can reset it up.
I know all this seems complicated, but with a bit of research and time, this is a good way to get rid of almost any virus ESPECIALLY this one

i got a file called “photos.zip” and it was about 400kb, it said sumthin about webcam an that was pretty convenient cuz me an the person who sent it had taken some webcam pix 2 weeks ago…so I thought she sent them, but when I opened the file it opened conversations and sent the file to like ecveryone on my contactlist so I logged out directly and now I don’t know how to remove it, please tell me if you got a solution

It’s 1kb. I think the PC literate people will know that most images can’t be compressed to 1kb. Think, it’s a whole album down to 1kb…
