all my Mp3's and JPG's turned into VBS files! they dont work and are exactly 11.8K! what happened?

Virus?

Virus. This isn't hardware by the way.

That is a virus. It uses a Visual Basic Script(VBS) that attaches to your email and then when you try to open it it runs the script. It then changes all of your jpg and mp3 files into the same vbs script so that when you try to open them it runs the virus all over again. There are several different ones that do this I think. You can look it up on www.symantec.com. You should update your virus definitions.

LOL. What does using AOL for e-mail have to do with you launching an attachment or downloading and running "bigbustyblond.exe"?

I bet someone wishes they had up to date antivirus running all along.

Tough lesson.

What's wrong with bigbustyblond.exe?

Well he answered:
"but i use AOL for email."

AOL Mail doesn't automatically download e-mail attachments like MS Outlook does.

Besides that, I'm not exactly sure what AOL has to do with it, but the fact that you have a virus and it needs to be cleaned out, is still present
