O.P. FAKE bropia security update
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.
