Hey,

I have this problem too, i accepted it out of curiosity aswell. I tried running several scans using Mcafee, it detected the trojans and quarantined them but this annoying virus kept sending itself to my contacts :S
I then realized that each time i located and deleted the imageXX.zip files, it kept coming back but with a different number. It also created more and more files, i decided to run my computer on safe mode. I checked the registry and searched for “image059.zip”(this was the name of my file, write in the one that you have”) and it picked up it and i deleted it. I also searched for “ehSched.exe” and to my surprise it acutally showed up!
I deleted it and i think it may have fixed my msn

Try it and see if it works

I seriously reckon that ppl who have to virus should get a decent AV and do a virus scan. I downloaded 1 and it picked up the virus in a few minutes. O and DO NOT GET NORTON! its terrible. get AVG or something.

I got the image_****.zip virus from a friend and out of curiosities sake i downloaded and opened it. I’ve tested many different supposed methods of removal (except antivirus and spyware, simply because i have never needed them and in my opinion they add clutter more than they actually help) but non of them have accomplished anything. The only way i have found to eraticate it, short of reformatting, is to set the system back, and all I can say is it isn’t as y2k, end of the world as people seem to think. at most it is an annoyance

ok everyone who has this virus listen up : there are various steps you can take to removing this annoying virus. 1st go to your C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp folder and search in there only for the image**.zip (note check fo r the image that your were sent not the 1 micca is using bcos of course not all of you will have the same named file) if you discover the image**.zip delete it , (now this is the bit most ppl havent tried) if its gettin its source from the internet(as in charles post) then take its source away (unplug the internet cable or turn off the internet) then search for the file %windir%\system\ehSched.exe (if >) (in start menu click run type in regedit) (if the file is on your computer you will find it here) , then download xoftspy SE (please try and get the latest version) download it here if you have trouble finding it http://www.paretologic.com/xoftspy/se/newlp/xray/?uid=x928s , after you have ran this program DO NOT turn the internet back on RESTART your computer and do another virus scan using xoftspy after scannin switch internet back on (note norton/kasperspy/other will not detect this virus bcos there are so many names for it) if this works please let me know , thank you
