Was suprised about how hard to is to contact Microsoft with reference to this
sort of thing. Alot of my friends have recently been infected by a virus
spreading itself on msn urging people to click a link to a 'picture' which in
reality opens up a dos-file.

"is that you on that photo?!
http://www.sam22.com/photos.php?photo=photo211.jpg"

this is the link that people recieve - although I would suggest you not
click on it. Just wondering if microsoft had worked out any type of fix? As
this has put alot of mates in a bind.

Thanks

I wouldn't call that a DOS file. In reality it is a Win32 executable renamed as
a .PIF
file.

There isn't anything that really can be done specifically by Microsoft.
However, abuse
complaints can be filed to the ISP of
www.sam22.com == 81.4.97.147

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=81.4.97.147&email=on and file a
complaint for
hosting malware.
Send your complaints to; abuse@proserve.nl and secure@proserve.nl nothing the
URL of the
above.

Basically this is a simple Social Engineering con. A message that piques your
interest but
it's intent is to infect you.

The Sophos module in the below Multi AV Scanning Tool acan be used to clean an
infected PC.


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
