FAKE bropia security update by M73A on 02-24-2005 at 09:28 PM

theres a chain message going round my contacts to goto http://msnupdate.qn.com

it looks exactely like the msn site except it cannot be found from the REAL msn.com, the reason i noticed its dodgy is because the so called 'update' was hosted on a diferent site from msn, i would think msn.com can afford to host and update no?

plus now when i try and connect to the url i get http://www.qn.com/account_suspended.php

www.qn.com? is it like dot.tk? it does the thing where the url stays at http://msnupdate.qn.com  even when you click to goto msn.com and are on that website....

just thought id share what i have found...

This just happened to me as well.  Unfortunatly I only noticed when i clicked the download button.  Running an antivirus at the mo to see what it has done.

lol, im very suspicious about chain messages, the fact it said .qn.com is what made me really think wtf this is a load of bullshit
