Hi there, and welcome to the BBB forums. I did some searching, it seems that the photo album.zip file contains the W32/IrcWorm-A. The only antivirus vendor who had some info on it was Sophos. The easiest way to get rid of this worm would be to download a trial copy of Sophos Antivirus here. Make sure to also update it after installation. Before installing Sophos, uninstall any existing antivirus programs in your system.

Please post back if you're still encountering problems.
