Guys,
I know it's off topic but this virus seems to be spreading quite violently,
I've had to remove from one of our clients machines this morning.
If you become infected with it, it's a simple remove procedure.
1. Remove the reference to OnTheFly in the registry, look for the text VBS
and WORM within the key to make sure you've got the right key.
2. Delete the file annakournikova.jpg.vbs from C:\$windir.
That should do it. Outlook Express users might be lucky in that it may not
send itself to all address book entries, but I can't guarantee it.
The best avoidance is not to open the damn thing at all just delete it, but
its easier said than done.
Hope this helps
