Title: MSN Virus how to look out for it
Post by: Wulf064 on March 10, 2009, 11:08:10 PM: ok there seems to be a trojan/virus that comes saying I found your pic online or is this you ho? when you click it and if you are to not paying attention like me you get a nasty trojan/virus that begins to access your MSN and send the link to your contacts infecting your friends if they click and download

Example: (I actually copy pasted but took out my email address)
look at yourself. 8-) :P htp://msn-gallery.net/view.php?=@hotmailcom <AVOID THIS KINDA STUFF

another way to beat it ... is to block the person who you got the virus from ... it worked for one of my friends

Post by: WingedZephyr on March 11, 2009, 04:02:32 AM: Stuff like this is always going around...

Just keep a good anti-virus program on your computer and be careful about what you click.

haha, i dont have an anti-virus on my PC ... the PC LAGS with any new anti-virus ... plus i dont use it to access the internet ... so really, do i need an anti-virus on it?

Post by: Dr. Strange on March 11, 2009, 10:19:44 PM: yes, you do. Anti-virus keeps your computer from killing over randomly. (like mine did two months ago) It also will reduce pop-ups and those annoying Anti-virus software sites/promos buggering up everything. (man they're annoying!)

Post by: Wulf064 on March 12, 2009, 12:48:48 AM: that or a fake antivirus latching onto your comp It has hapened to me
