Virus

[octennis3790]

There is this virus that is going around through AIM that pretty much just slows down your computer and causes AIM conversations to close. How it works is it will say "Hey should i put these pics on my MySpace" so many will click on it but when you do it ask you to to open a micrsoft document file (thats why i guess my virus protection didnt catch it). But the way it spreads itself is that it goes down your buddy list, in order, and will send "(quoted words above)" to every person currently online.

Now i ran my antivirus scan and one of them didnt catch it but, another one did im 99% positive that i chose to delet it. it was fine for a while but then after a 1/2 hour it started sending it again. for some reason i could view the files that i had deleted so i had to go into my Event viewer to see where it was. the direct path was "C:\WINDOWS\winhost.exe" and what im asking is if there is a way i could acess that or delete it all together, or if i should delete it. im pretty sure there is no way that it could move to a different file after i tried to delete it once or if it got downloaded twice. Any help would be much appreciated. Ive heard of using Wintask....is that the best option or are there other programs or can i do it manually.-octennis3790

I got a message saying
"I cant print these pics <link> can you help me???" or something like that and i thought it was some kind of virus so i didnt click it. Did anyone get something like that??
