GlynnP Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) Hey from what i have seen there is currently a virus going around msn so be aware. The virus get you by sending you a message from some 1 who has the virus saying "is that u? \\http://tuspics.tu.funpic.org/index.php?pic2038.jpg"]http://tuspics.tu.funpic.org/index.php?pic2038.jpg// If you then click this link you will be getting the virus. Most people are probably already aware of this but for people that aren't hope this helps you not to get it. As i can tell the virus doesn't do any real harm apart from sending this annoying link around to your other contacts. If you do get then then I would suggest doing a virus scan straight away to get rid of it. Cheers Edited November 27, 2006 by RealRiding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTF Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 If you got the virus I believe that you can find a guide on microsofts homepages.. I think....Or you can search on google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think there's variations on the URL that is sent, but yeah I've seen that one recently.Just a note, if you get it, change your screen name to something like "DO NOT CLICK THE LINK, IT'S A VIRUS" or something just to warn others. A mate had it and that's what he did until he sorted it out.Either that or just don't go on MSN til it's sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTTY___ Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Its a Trojan Hourse, that opens up a port on your PC so anybody can just walk on and off when they please.If your virus scanner says its deleted it, its lieing. Soon as you load up your PC again its back.You actually ahve to manually stop the .exe from loading back up.Me and my GF had the same think, oh its a b*****d!Hope ive helped.

yoyoyo Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I don't know wether or not to be gutted that no-ones sent it to me.On the plus hand i have no virus, but i wouldn't click on the link anyway because as far as i know, there aren't any pictures of me on the internet.But then again it means i'm not popular.What a dilema it seems to be though.

Reinold Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I had the virus about a month ago but i got rid of it eventually after sending it to everyone on msn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 My mate tried sending that to me.I laughed at him for being stupid enough to download it, and open it.As soon as I saw wha t was asking to be saved, I cancelled.He's now sending the link about on purpose to annoy people.
