I know this has nothing to do with Symbian or S60 or even phones, but this thing is so frustrating that I had to publish a post about it! On Msn/Windows live messenger, if you find a contact telling you "Check out my nice photo album" or "Here are my very secret pictures for you" or anything similar, then sends you a file called "photoalbum2007.zip" or "myphotoalbum.zip" or similars, DO NOT ACCEPT!! If you accept then launch the file, you'll catch the virus. And immediately you'll find the messenger automatically sends the virus to all of your online contacts. It doesn't stop, it keeps sending and sending every while and then. And recently it somehow started to send inappropriate messages to contacts instead of just promoting itself in the form of a photo album :S If your PC has already been infected, try the following removal tools: Incase the zip contains a file with extension "PIF" you'll have to try this, or this Incase the zip contains a file with extension "SCR" delete the following files and folders if found: c:\install\ghost.exe c:\install\install.exe c:\install\credits.cmd c:\documents and settings\\My Documents\My Received Files\MyAlbum2007 c:\documents and settings\\My Documents\My Received Files\photo album-2007.scr %windir%\myalbum2007.zip You will not be able to delete %system%\sysprinters.dll, so you'll have to remove from safe mode Thanks to Biillys-recondite-ramblings and Yandao.com
