FYI

Virus Spread by sending to MSN Messenger contacts.

Message shows up as:
/13/2005 8:03:45 PM Someguy its you!
4/13/2005 8:03:45 PM Someguy XXXXXX.malignancy.us/gallery/pictures.php?email=myemail@email.com

Where:
XXXXXX = Http://www, but you DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THAT LINK CAUSE THAT'S HOW IT SPREADS...
and
Someguy = the name of the person sending you the link
and
myemail@email.com = your MSN-linked Email address

If you click on the link, it asks to run a file.
If you select RUN
it installs itself.

It instantly starts sending that same message to each of your contacts. Trying to infect them...

CWShredder or HijackThis closes immediately after opening?

There is a variant of the Coolwebsearch trojan spreading that closes several anti-spyware apps when you try to open them.

If this is happening to you, download PepiMK's CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller removal tool first and run it. After it does its job, CWShredder and HijackThis will run properly (as well Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and several anti-spyware forums).
