I knew i had it, casue like 40 message boxes opened, and it sent a link to them all. THat's how I knew. I ran spybot, and Ad-aware.. THen just in case, I did a system restore, to a few hours before. I'm pretty sure I don't have it.

I also got the

"hey its you" link.

It has a bug though. It doesnt work for everyone. I got lucky and it didnt work. A few others have been just as lucky. I think all you have to do is restart and then delete the file in the "recieved files" folder. This is what I was told to do.

It's tied in with Windows' SP2 and ...

So far the only way around it is to edit the msn's EXE in Binary
