    Get Ad-Aware, and SpyBot Search and Destroy, Then run an Anti-Virus scan.

    It is yet another virus from a copy of realphx. The URL is buddypicture.net. I dont not advise visiting the homepage of the site as you get the virus immediatly upon entering.

    You can find removal instructions here: http://www.buddypicture.net/remove.htm

    does anyone know the affects of having this virus? I wonder if it could be the reason why so many people arent seeing each other online...? Thats just a guess, i dont know im probably wrong...
