Possible worm link? by Krais on 01-14-2008 at 12:44 PM

DONT FOLLOW ANY LINKS IN THIS THREAD! (as recommended I have changed the http to hxxp so the links don't work)

Yesterday I received a link along the lines of hxxp://www.amfibitank.info/list ;) on another account, from someone I knew. I foolishly followed the link without question.

Today this account is logged on as a mobile device, and seems to be sending out random links of a similar type
hxxp://www.amfibitank.info/list ;)
hxxp://www.yoluyla.info/list ;)

If you were to follow these links (please don't) it takes you to a site offering a download of a product that will show you who has blocked you on msn, which I am sure is not legitimate.
I am told Mcaffee will block this site as it contains a virus, but norton didn't even blink!

Any help/suggestions on this one?

Thanks.

Change your password right away!
When you signed into the site, it basically took your password so that it could sign in and advertise to other people on your contact list. And hope that it didn't save your contact list so they can sell the email addresses to spammers

Thanks, that is what I did but I couldn't see how the site could have taken the password so was concerned there might be more to it than that.
