picture.pff

Unknown

Hi guys, I've noticted that a couple people on this board have gotten help with this problem. I foolishly clicked on a link that my friend sent me over AIM the message said "check out my pictures" Basically, this virus/trojan (not sure what it's classified as) sent itself via the same message to everyone on my buddy list. At first, i opened up task manager, and found "pictures.pff" running under processes, so i killed it and deleted the file (it downloaded to my downloads folder when i clicked on the link). I ran adaware which found a bunch of stuff, but i think none were related. I also ran norton which found nothing. I reopened my AIM, and everything seemed normal. I left my computer, and when I came back, this thing had sent itself to everyone on my buddylist again. The following is my log from hijack this. I appreciate anything you guys can do to help. Oh, I also opened my task manager again, and noticed a process called "FrameworkServic" I can't imagine this being a "good" program, so I tried ending it, but it said that I don't have the right permissions. Thanks again!

~Dan

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I did what you said, but today, my AIM automatically put up an away message that said something to the effect "check out my beach pictures" with a link to what i'm guessing is either the same virus or a new one. i just ran spybot, adaware and cwshredder. all came up w/ no results. I have vscan 8 running on my computer. Here is the new log. Again, thanks.
