I am trying to help my friend that got infected with this virus and I can't find any information about it. She got it through MSN Messenger from someone else on her list. Anyways, that person "send" her the file pic1234(1)(1)(1)(1)(5)(1).exe saying it is a pic. Then she opens it and it will try and send that same file to other people on her MSN Messenger list. She said she can't delete that file either. She got "acess denied" message. Then her printer started acting weird too like printing weird stuff. Anybody know anything about this virus?

Thanks for the info. I found the exact name of the worm after searching internet again. Here is the information about the virus if anyone wants to know: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.annoying.worm.html

The first one is from Symantec and the second one is from McAfee. They both have different name for the same worm.
