Membergo to windows explorer…right click on the C Drive…find….then type in pic.exe and it should find it….if u have a virus checker and its already found that virus, then it should have quarantined it, so go to ur checker and delete the file from quarantine. If you don’t have a virus checker and you can’t find the file…then i recomend u get one ASAP!!!

MemberI dont think that will help much Phil, since that virus isnt called “pic.exe”
It has a lil more stuff at the end like pic1243.exe (I think thats it)
Well, first open “my computer” then your c drive, then (I think program files) or with in your c drive, you should see a yellow folder that says “pic 1243” or pic1234
Open that folder, and you will see another folder that says “brian” (I think) and once you open that one, you will see another few folders, within that…. just delete them all, press the back button delete the folder named brian, then the yellow folder named pic1243. After that you would go to run and type something, then press CTRL ALT DEL and end task that one file, but since I dont remember that stuff, I’m going to allow another member to fill you in on the rest.
Wow… this is a really OLD virus. This virus doesnt do any harm to computer, its just ment to spread. Read the read me file within “brian” and it will fill you in on information about it self.
Good luck.

Membertry searching for pic.exe if that doesnt work, try pic1234.exe.
Quote:quote: it is a virus to know the victims password in msnif that is true, then it should be called a trojan not a virus(to be more specific).

MemberAhhh yes… I believe I have come across one on these types of things too… I think the one I had was msn.exe but I was unable to remove it. When I refreshed Windowz it was removed.
Does it give you the “Messenger is currently running” type of message??Geeker I was born, geeker I remain.
