Hi, if anyone got sent some odd thing through msn saying try this or something and gave u a link it is most likely you have the CUTE virus



I dont know if anyone knows hwo to delete it so i'll tell you,

1) Click start

2) Click search

3) Click all files n folders or whatever and in the type space type in 'pif' for a search and after a while if something called cute appears

4) DELETE it!!!



have a nice day smile



p.s. dont forget to empty your recycle bin

If you do have a virus, please, please, please don't just delete the file and think it's fixed. If you've been infected most viruses sit in your computer and keep coming back. Search Symantec or Google to find the right way to remove it. Better yet - get anti-virus software and keep it updated and running.

My foolproof method for removing viruses...

1) Unplug computer.
2) Throw the f-cker out the damn window!
3) Buy a new computer. Hey, if it was crap enough to get a virus, chances are you need a new one anyway!

Enjoy!
