O.P. Shocked  Virus Through MSN Messenger
Does everyone know has a virus will through MSN MESSENGER send to your friends. I just got the virus through my friend's messenge, I thought is my friend send me an URL but actually that's a virus. It'll auto send the virus to your friends after you "run" the installer. I'd forgotten the URL, but i wish everyone becareful of that

We are fully aware but thanks for the friendly reminder.

The url ends in .pif

Also please note that you posted in the wrong forum. This is for Messenger Plus! Help and Support. You would have wanted to post this in MSN/Windows Messenger.

The MSN Messenger should block these although if you have the unblocking patch.. be warned!

The block does not block URLs, just files being sent.

There is a fix for this virus:
