    Basically virus is a self replicating programming code in that Anna Kournikova is a type of virus. Actually this is a name of famous tennis player name but whenever that type of picture send to other it has hidden malware. Make sure that the main role play of that type of malware which is it come through email attachment file then it catch whole Microsoft Outlook email program because these are written in visual basic code after that it send to all the people who are in list of that,basically the Kournikova virus tempts users with the message like "Hi:Check This!",with what appears to be a picture file labeled "AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs"so for the prevention of the system you can installed some updated anti virus software as well as anti spyware in your system.
