O.P. Shocked  Messenger Plus! Fourm Trojan?
Ok, I just got this trojan warning from VirusScan On-Access (from Microsoft). Guess what I got it from? The Mess. Plus! Forums! It even says: showthread[4] and showthread[6]. I know this is from plus! because whenever i load a thread, it says that in the adress-bar. One problem is that I can't make a screen-shot. The size would be too big.


What do you think??*-)

Save the screenshot as a gif or something, then its a perfect size to upload.

And those VirusScan On-Access pick up anything, even if someones avatar is from a site they have "blacklisted". :rolleyes:

i don't understand how format c: could be at all harmful, even if it was in a context of attempting to run :-/  because 99% of users run everything off c: so wouldnt be able to format it if they tried (this disk is in use)

Because if someone puts it in a batch file and you are running dos or something it would format it ...Dunno, kinda dumb :-/
