ok if noone knows about this, heres what happens

on windows live messenger, someone with a computer affected by this thing will randomly send out messages with file transfer requests.

the name of the request is usually

image-xxxx.zip

where xxxx are some random digits

and inside the zip is:

image xxxx yyyy@zzzz.com

the first xxxx are digits, the yyyy@zzzz is an email address.

as you can see, the .com is fairly obvious, but i wasnt the one who opened this.

now it generates a random process, and my strain (i've heard of other reports of this) generates a process with a a seemingly random name: oudrfhgajzfe.exe.

it then makes you send out file transfer request to your contacts, and my strain does it invisibly.

i need help removing this, i have no idea how to.

I have the file which was downloaded ready to send if anyone needs it

i can supply hjt logs

and redirect me to the correct place if necessary

thanks, da_vinci_cod
