Several people have been getting a bogus message and a file sent to them over MSN from people that they know. It may say something about check out this kids hair or some such.

Don't accept them or open them. Not sure how its being done but I've seen it twice now and it didn't ring any bells with Norton either. Evil or Very Mad

OK here is how you get rid of this manually (I hope):

Go to the task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL)

Locate u.exe and end process on it.

Open Windows Expolorer

Go to your Windows/System32 folder and locate an app called u. Delete the file and then empty your recycle bin.

If you feel comfortable doing it, go into the registry editor:
HKey_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run and delete the registry key u
