Post subject: WARNING - VIRUS ON MSN, please be aware Reply with quote

For those of you on MSN please be aware of a virus that is using your contacts to spread.

You will suddenly get a MSN IM asking you to take a look at new pictures and offer you a chance to download them.

DO NOT ACCEPT

This is how the virus is transfered.

yeah i got one yesterday and i tried to open it (didn't know it was a virus) but i have done a scan and its not picking one up.

msn can give out bugs that virus scans don't pick up. if you think you have a virus (your computer acting weird sending emails you didn't write or moving files you didn't move etc ) i recommend putting all your files you need onto a disk then scan them to make sure there are no viruses then reset your Operating System.
this will clear your computer of any bugs.

Your anti virus wont pick it up, but you would know if you have it, it erases tool bars and make the computer useless

MSN is another 'brain child' of microsoft windows isn't it? Urgh, don't start me on Bill Gates, everything he has ever made is utter rubbish, imagine where we'd be today if he hadn't ripped off other people's ideas! Rolling Eyes

Anyway, ta for the warning, must alert my brother! Smile

Oh crap, I did wonder why someone I don't really know suddenly asked me to have a look at a picture. I ahve to say in my naiivity, I did attempt to look at the file but obviously no picture was seen. My laptop is fine at the moment...do you think my computer might still have it even though it's not showing any signs? How long would it take for the virus to take effect?

your computer could be fine at first but if it has a virus it could destroy your files over night.
