WARNING, just be careful if you get an email from this address, i had 1 this morning and now my computer is going ape with my antivirus fighting it, every 3 seconds it trys to take me to a new URL.

the email comes with a zip file , inside the file is an exe file hidden inside a jpg, i opened it because i was actually waiting on an mms from my wife, what are the odds of that !

what a waste of time, i'd love to shoot the people who do this.

That's lucky. I was actually going to open it because I have been trying to work out how to open MMS on my phone

If you're still having trouble you can try SysClean - a Trend Micro offline scanner. I also use ESET (I think this is what you use) but find SysClean helps in a pinch.

I've uploaded it for you here; http://www.datafilehost.com/download-6ca85cf6.html
Just download, unzip and run the sysclean.com file. A Trend Mirco window will appear and I'm sure you'll figure it out from there.
It could take a while but it's pretty good at finding things others have missed.

thanks GGRoup, my scan didn't pick anything up, just been on to eset and they are currently preparing the update but he is emailing me the fix now,

END result

the sysclean link hassled my nod32 and had to shut down my computer.

i recieved the longgggggg list of instructions from Eset but decided to do a system restore from yesterday first to save time and that WORKED.

the virus wasn't malicious, just bloody annoying
