MSN-Messenger Virus Alert!

[Cache-man]

Hi all, I just thought I'd bring this to your attention.

A friend of mine on msn messenger just sent me a message saying
"Hey", and then
"I look so cool in this pic http://www.q8hell.org/NewImage-9.exe".

First I thought it looked a little suspicious sending a pic as an exe so i messaged back asking what it was and he confirmed my suspitions that it was in fact a virus that was sending itself by msn-messenging everyone on his contact list. He is currently trying to delete the offending virus.

Luckily i was aware the file was a virus as it said .exe instead of something like .jpg. Others might not be so aware of things like this, so I thought I'd just let you all know about it - beware of opening files from MSN messenger, even though it is from someone you know on your cantact list.

I really can't believe you'd be so stupid as to admit this thing.

Don't have your 'friend's' address do you?

We might have to pay him a little visit.

Virus writers are about the lowest life form on this planet.

 

[muckshifter]

... coz he said he did

I doubt it.

... but I do believe you are a bigger fool.

This virus is an self propagating worm that sends that message to anyone on your MSN list from people who download it in the first place. if you get that message, the person who send it to you has the virus.

That link is actually active, so I'm just editing it a bit. Don't accept any files you aren't 100% sure about and you'll be fine. Most people won't realise that downloading an EXE file is potentially harmful, as JPG/EXE/COM/PIF means nothing to them.

 

[Belloni]

Well i only JUST found out !!! My mate came round and we were chatting and i said something about his pc and he goes add (e-mail address removed) and i said na way it a virus init and he goes nah its "....." so i said oh right nah dnt like him ! lol and he said he hacked msn or something like that or hacked peeps addys for something ... dunno if he was da WHOLE of MSN :S Not sure

I know it was stupid but i got bored so thought i mite say something ?!

 

[psd99]

Vanilla don't call me an idiot please ...

 

[gabriella]

Steady on Belloni! I think people were just trying to offer some advice!

BTW I think I better get double extra protection for my PC as the MSN users in this house are no doubt going to download something dodgy particularly as daughter's boyfiend (in house as we speak) got this thing yesterday and thought it was quite a laugh. I have offered appropriate words of guidance!

Just a bit ...

I don't know ... i guess i was bored and i thought of what my mate said ... anywayz ... people are ALWYS hacking MSN ... so dn't JUST have a go at me please

Hey, Belloni, you're OK.

BUT: Talking about tosspot mates who think they're clever showing off about writing a virus - we do not want to hear.

If he really has done that thing, he will be universally hated, you wanna align yourself with him?

The truth of the matter is he's probably a sad little immature idiot out to impress and is too stoopid to know what he's dealing with.

I doubt if he could seriously write code if you put a pen and paper in front of him..

In short - he's a tosser.

I'd like to think you're not.

I called you stupid, VR called you an idiot. OK, over the top, retracted, but I hope you realise from that reaction just how much virus writers are hated and reviled.

Understand?

So take it easy and disassociate yourself from that sad human being.
