Warning :Another virus spreading fast... by Steven on 11-29-2006 at 09:10 PM

I dont know if anyone posted this, but many of my contacts have fallen prey to some kind of trojan, (maybe reported alreayd on some sites) but if you see something like this when some contact is talking to you, dont click:


"Sydney Sinclair<3... NWTOTW I've Been Changed for good</3 says:
is that u?:P http: //modeEDITED FOR OVER EAGER NOOBS"

Please do not click this link. It's not an actual site. It is all just a virus that once comes onto your computer spreads the word by talking on MSN.

And obviously you shouldn't click any weird links normaly, just thought i should warn some newbies. Notify me if i should edit out the URL. I first saw this a week ago, and now about 20 friends have it.

I also have this problems with about 10 contacts but in my case its a zip file.
And cuz they're newbs on the pcs they always click it
Spybot S&D can do the job inst it?

but hopefully no one else gets it

I had encountered a problem talking with a contact that i dunno if its related to her spyware, whenever i talk to her after 3 messages more or less my WLM freezes, this only happens for this contact
She has the spyware i mentioned above :s

RE: Warning :Another virus spreading fast... by Nathan on 11-29-2006 at 11:13 PM

Is it only that contact? Or is it everyone you talk to.

RE: Warning :Another virus spreading fast... by DarkMe on 11-29-2006 at 11:20 PM

Just that contact
I've blocked her for now
Is it related to the spyware she has?
Or why is happening to this contact only?

Thanks for the info... Isn't there a cure for it so that everyone wil be cured eventually rather than having that to be spreaded around....

Probably she doesn't have anti-spyware to scan or anti-virus? While the rest of you contacts have ?
